Hey All,
Last month, my miniature pinscher Toby tested positive for heartworms. We started his therapy and after 30 days of medication, he received his first round of shots today.
We have been ordered to keep him quiet and thankfully he loves his kennel and he is a pretty lazy dog. While most Min-Pins are hyper, he only gets hyper at the possibility of food, so we just have to figure out how to keep him calm while we get his food prepped.
I'm just feeling completely defeated, guilty and anxious about the whole thing. I've read that the critical part is keeping him calm so that the worms don't start flying to other parts of his little 7 pound body.
I'm trying to keep it together, but I could use some encouragement from others who have been through this process. Did your furry babies make it through okay? Any tips for us to all keep our sanity and keep him calm?
Thank you so much guys...
