How to get a dog to take lots of pills: put them in wet food and act like its your dinner. Beau's treatment is underway, antibiotics and steroids to kill off the bacteria the worms let go in his blood to protect the larvae. And prednisone to keep his lungs clear, because the antibiotics can cause blood clots in his lungs. And he's Heartguard to keep any new invaders from setting up camp in his veins. His arsenic shots will begin in a month or two. It's a complex timeline and Dr. Gamber wrote it out on a timeline for us to make sure we don't get jumbled up. She is a wonderful wonderful Vet. #heartworm #heartwormpositive #beausheartworm #beauthemutt #beautifulbeau #rescuedog #dogmedicine #lovemyveterinarian
