Peluche Has Heartworm

I am devastated. He can't go through the treatment, he's too old and wouldn't make it through the treatment. I don't want to give him drugs as his kidney levels are a bit elevated and i'm afraid of his body not being able to handle it.

I don't want to think about the fact of having to let him go so we have decided to let him live out his life naturally (unless he's in pain and suffering).

I did find a holistic vet that is very well known for her good work. I want to see if there is anything that can be done to make him less of a risk of infecting the other dogs, that is pretty much my goal.

Peluche is so full of life but I knew that he could go at any time when I brought him home.
I will be taking him on Wednesday. Please send my Little Man some positive vibes.

Oh that really blows! Poor guy! I'm so glad I live where there's no heartworm! I'll keep you both in my thoughts

Sending good vibes to you and Peluche. I hope she can continue for as long as possible and be pain free.

Sending love and wishes to little "teddy bear" Here's hoping the holistic treatment works its magic.


((((Hugs to u both))))

Poor Peluche... sending hugs and licks to you and him!

Huge cuddles for both of you, and I hope that she remains pain free for a long time yet.

Sending lots of positive {{{vibes}}} for Peluche xx

So sorry to hear this sad news.
Sending heartfelt wishes that Peluche can have a long time without pain.
Hugs to you both xx

You are so lucky. I never thought one of my guys would get heartworm, even though i've had multiple fosters that had to go through the treatment.

Thank you all for your kind words and thoughts. I made sure Peluche got them all.
