I've had two friends successfully treat their dogs for heartworms, it can be done!barncat (Lisa)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00931528644007659797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053654828170672638.post-82327978154071949772011-04-06T12:51:44.030-04:002011-04-06T12:51:44.030-04:00Well Tracy this is the way it is with pets just li...Well Tracy this is the way it is with pets just like people they get sick, need medical care and then of course they die. At my age I've been through a lot of this. Now if you are in a heart worm area there is a preventive medication you can and should be giving depending on how this all turns out I'm sure the vet will tell you. We gave this when living in CA to our dogs but here in Alaska there is no heart worm nor any fleas or ticks and no rabies so we are lucky on that.<br />I hope the dog comes out of this and with treatment there is a good chance of that. Also you might check in your area of help with neuter/spay program. We have one here even in the far reaches of Alaska.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15210269243259892285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053654828170672638.post-43789645339021670242011-04-06T12:05:55.327-04:002011-04-06T12:05:55.327-04:00Hi Tracy...first I love your new layout...it is so...Hi Tracy...first I love your new layout...it is so colorful!!<br />Second I am so sorry for not paying attention to what is going on..I am still in survival mode her at my daughters...going on 14 weeks...arghhh I NEED to go home!!Maybe this weekend I will get to head that way.<br />Now For you sweet loving Mattie..I am so sorry.I will be praying for the little sweetie.I know how the loss affected you last time.Loosing our loved pets..just breaks our hearts!I still don't want another inside pet and it's been 6 yrs now since my Rufus is gone.I hate getting hurt.I hope she will get to feeling better.<br /><br />Hugs and lovin Cindy from Rick-Rack and GinghamCindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02605869260096318108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053654828170672638.post-53731655458937612442011-04-06T09:15:26.847-04:002011-04-06T09:15:26.847-04:00Sending cyber hugs your way today, Tracy.

Our animals certainly do take up huge spaces in our hearts and it hurts like hell when something is wrong with them or when we lose them. I know this all to well. But we keep loving them and giving them the best life possible because thats what we do! and when they leave us we can console ourselves knowing that we gave them all our love and the best of lifes! Hopefully your little mattie can be treated and cured? <br />Big hugs and a prayer coming your way this morning!<br />xoxo<br />vivianvivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05322440068809986226noreply@blogger.com
