I just posted this in the dog thread but then noticed this thread existed. Can anyone point me to a resource for heartworm? I got my girl in January from a rescue, and she was heartworm positive. They're covering the treatment. She had an injection and overnight stay a month ago, and was scheduled to have one again on Friday. Unfortunately, the hospital had to close unexpectedly and I'm not sure when they're coming back. They told me at the last treatment that there was only a small window for the next treatment. I'm trying to figure out how much of a window that actually is, and the hospital hasn't gotten back to me yet

Dixville posted:I actually had to look this up because we almost never see heartworm cases in southern California and I've gotten out of practice. Generally the treatments are given with one injection, then one month later 2 more injections 24 hours apart. Apparently the criteria is "at least" one month between the first and second injections. So I would say as long as you got it done within a reasonable amount of time, like a month or so, you should be ok. Here is the heartworm society website that talks about protocols if you have other questions. Thank you so much, my Googling was not helping me. I just want to make sure my girl is taken care of, it's been so frustrating going through this, she wants to play and walk and I can't let her.

Hey guys my pups poop has been yellow and soft the last week or so. I'm trying to get into the vet but there's a backlog due to lockdown. She's been on the same kibble since I got her with no issues (Kirkland Chicken and Rice) and I have given her canned pumpkin for a week, but wondering if there's anything else I might add? It's not quite diarrhea but very close. She's 60 days past her final heartworm shot but still is supposed to be taking it easy for a few more months so I'm extra cautious
