I have an adopted dog that was tested positive for hearworm and is on medication. My dog is mostly a good dog but some times he changes into a nasty dog that just gets into all kinds of trouble and will grawl at me. I am wondering if any other heartworm positive dog owners find this happens to their dog as well. I wonder if it has something to do with the heartworms making him a little nuts at times. Thanks for any answers from heartworm dog owners.

My dog got skinny all of the sudden, planning taking him to the vet, just wanna know.

Found a stray in my neighborhood and he was skin and bones. I knew if he went to the pound he would be euthanized within days. I kept him and took him to the vet for a checkup and of course he’s heart worm positive. Got him started on the treatments and he’s doing well. Problem is, he and my lab have been at each other since almost the beginning. They fight about any and everything. The other night it was so bad, one of them was bleeding at the neck. Also, they’ve both began peeing in the house. I can’t even have them in the house any longer. I know my older dog is jealous of the new one and he’s acting out so I’ve had to put both of them outside. Question is, do I keep him do I try something else? I don’t know what to do.

could be consult a vet

I want to know if anyone has had this diagnosis and observed a full recovery without surgical intervention in their dog.
What was your experience?
If you are in the veterinary field what are my dog’s chances for a full recovery with the heartworm treatment he will be getting to erradicate the worms and future use Heart Guard prevention?

I just got him through a friend and took him for a check-up. The treatments are harsh and expensive. The test was faintly (+) which means he just got it. Is there a chance the heartworm pill may do the trick? He has a 6-months supply, the vet says it may help, but still recommends the treatment. Has anyone had any experience with this? I just want to know what are his chances of survival without the treatment and just taking the pills. He is a hyperative, 3 yr. old Jack Russell Terrier. Thanks.

I would appreciate your feedback on the insurance that you have for your pet, as well, as how much does it cost you. Thank you!
