Anyone with experience heartworm+ dog? [View all]
I've applied to a rescue organization to adopt a 4 year old dog in foster care that is heartworm positive. I don't know the severity of the diagnosis, where the dog is in treatment, or what her prognosis might be. She's a Golden Retriever/ Black Labrador mix that looks very much like our Tania, that we adopted from the Lincoln NE Animal shelter when we lived there. Tania was a wonderful member of our family for many years.
After I lost Snowy in 2020 at the beginning of Covid, I decided not to have another dog. It's been 4 years. Recently I decided that I probably won't do any more traveling --beyond going to the beach here in NC --and I would be able to take this dog with me --like I did Snowy--if I book a pet friendly rental.
I don't expect to hear whether my application to adopt this dog will be approved until early next week. If it is, then I'd schedule meeting the dog. I'd like to be prepared to know what questions to ask about what I might expect--or face-- with a dog that has been-- or is being-- treated for heartworm.
