My Mom took Leia to the vet this morning while I still slept. I awoke to my mom walking into my bedroom telling me the good news: Leia had a blood test this morning and she is cleared from having heartworm any longer!!! I always thought that a heartworm diagnosis was a, “Game Over” for a dogs but I’m so happy to say that Leia, “Grabbed her guts” and pulled through!!!
This whole ordeal was pretty heart wrenching to witness! I texted Sean the good news:
I’m really excited for my Mom though. She will fall right back into taking Leia for a walk easily! She grabs the leash, puts a mask on (for my protection) and goes for at least two, sometimes three walks a day! They told my Mom to start small and gradually increase the length and duration of the walk so she walked all the way down the block today.
