We got Misty's medicine in Tuesday, July 12 of 2011. She's 7 years old and is a chowchow/golden retriever/collie mix. She's a beautiful yellow-furred dog and exhibits all of the exuberance of a puppy. She has a lot of love to give, and we were so happy to accept it when we rescued her. She was living in a back yard with grass almost as tall as my 6'5" husband.
We're treating her with HEARTWORM FREE, an all natural, affordable heartworm treatment for dogs. It is made of completely natural ingredients, and we give her benedryl to promote rest because that is what the vet told us to do so she didn't get too active or excited whilst in treatment (like I said, she is a very young soul for such an old bodied dog. she get's TOO excited just seeing some one walk into the room and her heart starts racing). So, I give her 2.6mL of HWF at 8am and 8pm, feed her fifteen minutes before each dosage, and fifteen minutes after each I give her three cups of water with ice in it. We take her out 30 minutes after each feeding and water giving, and two hours after each 30 minutes.
We let her come out and sit on the couch for about four or five hours each day total, but we do it in intervals of 30 minutes spaced out through out the day. She's doing pretty well with treatment so far, and I am excited to be able to get her through this.
Sadly, this means lack of sleep for me and an over-consumption of coffee for both Andy and I. NOT FUN! The last time we went through this, I over-dosed on caffeine and ended up sick myself while taking care of Harley when she contracted Parvo after we first got her, at a month and a half of living. I am hoping I can limit myself on coffee and still be able to stay up.
You guys ever have this problem? Anyone got any suggestions for my heartworm puppy??
