[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 676630, member: 1233"] The dog we had when I was little got heartworms. When I found out I thought she was going to die from them immediately and I was SOOO upset. She was 11 or 12 at the time, which is quite old for a lab/irish setter mix. The treatment at the time was super hard on dogs and the vet was unsure of giving treatment due to her age. As usual, my dog surprised the vets (she was treated at a large vet hospital run by the local university vet school). She sailed through t he treatment with very few problems and was such a sweetie that the students didn't want us to take her home. The protocol then was to watch the dog in the hospital for a few days during one stage in the treatment so that if something happened she could be treated immediately. She lived to be 17 yrs old and probably would have hit 19 or 20 except that someone came onto my parents' property and murdered her. The vets always asked us if we were positive of her age because they thought she was maybe 12 or 14 yrs old. As my aunt owned her mother, we even knew her exact birthday, l ol. I hope your furbaby sails through treatment as smoothly as mine did! [/QUOTE]
