New foster dog…

[tollermom]

Short update until I have time to post more. I have a new foster dog (who currently needs a name). He’s an English Setter, very sweet, picked up as a stray in New Castle, IN, a few weeks ago. I picked him up from the shelter yesterday and ran him by Caring Hands for bloodwork to (a) check his heartworm status and (b) pull pre-op bloodwork in hopes that heartworm would be negative and I could schedule him to be neutered ASAP.

Unfortunately, my vet called me this morning to let me know the heartworm test was positive, so I guess he’ll be with me for awhile while he goes through treatment.

More when I know it. Working with my vet and the rescue to formulate the plan for going forward.

*hugs* I'm sorry, and I hope New Foster Doggie does well on the treatment. *ear skritchies to NFD*
I'll be thinking of you both.

Thanks! I hope so too! He's a really sweet boy and I was hoping that he'd get adopted quickly... now I'm guessing he'll be with me for at least the next three months.

Baskerville?

Or Pimpernell?

Aww, poor little guy. But at least things should be looking up from here for him. I know what an agonizing process it is to get them through the treatment, I hope he responds well.
