Ellie’s newest sibling Petey has had a really terrible time with the effects of his heartworm treatment. For a while, we weren’t sure he was going to make it, as his blood system crashed and his platelets went to near zero. He was completely blind for several days as his eyes lost all moisture. It was tough.
But after a hospitalization and a lot of intense medication, Petey seems to be on the path to recovery. He has his eyes open and seems to be seeing ok. Last night, all three dogs were resting peacefully. Petey is the one in the lower right.
Heartworms are no picnic. Neither is the treatment. Make sure you have your pets on heartworm prevention.
