Stray black lab mix story.

I had not heard from Jan for a few weeks so I emailed her about a week ago and then again this last Friday. I was rather concenred... Fortunately, Sadie is fine! She is still on the heartworm preventative because there are still baby heartworms showing up and the preventative kills them. She is supposed to start her 3 sessions of the actual heartworm treatment on the
17th or 18th of this month.

Jan said she's been swamped at work and saw my email but the forgot about it. I'm very glad everything is OK!

Thanks for the update Michael

Update

I went over Sunday to visit. Sadie is doing fine, she's one of the most laid back dogs I've ever seen, which during the heartworm treatment is a very good thing since they are not supposed to get excited because the worms can break off and spread to other body parts and organs.

I was a little disappointed that Sadie would not come to me, but it has been months since she saw me last. She let me pet her but I had to go to her.

Jan said that Sadie had reverted back a little to when she was most timid. I think it has to do with her being boarded at a kennel for a week while Jan was on vacation followed by her being at the vet overnight for the first heartworm treatment. I think she may have felt as though she was being abandoned and had a setback.

Her next treatment is either a week or two away and she has to stay for 3 days. I think once she's all done with that, and gets resettled again, everything will fall into place for her and she'll be more comfortable. But hey, what do I know. I often wonder how dogs think, but doubt I'm even close.

It was good to get to see her again.

Thanks Michael for keeping us updated about Sadie. I hope these setbacks are just a temporary thing.
