Saturdays are turning into the day where we wake up and decide someone needs to go to the vet immediately!
Well Rishu went back to the vet this morning because she has developed a severe cough. I wanted to make sure she hadn't caught kennel cough because we want her to be as healthy as possible when she starts her heartworm treatment.
Bless her heart. I was hoping she had gained some weight, but she hasn't. Oh well. At least I know she's eating. The vet examined her and determined that it wasn't kennel cough, which is good.
She also said that she thinks the cough is the result of some of the weaker worms dying off from the antibiotic, but that the treatment for that is Predisone (steroid) which she is already on. They did give her a cough suppressant for the evenings, but otherwise said it is probably good news for her.
So some good news (we hope) is that we're killing those weaker worms and it seems to be working!!!!
Keep her in your thoughts as she will start treatment is three more weeks.
