Default Great News!

As many of you know, Koda went through Heartworm treatment approximately four months ago...

Well, he just went in today to get retested to ensure the Heartworm was eradicated and the test came back negative, he's in the clear! We had to wait four months to retest him and find out, a little nerve-racking, but the chances of the treatment having failed were slim...

Now it's time for him to get Neutered...Shhh, don't tell him.

Haha! I wanted to get him Neutered so long ago but they couldn't risk putting him under anesthesia. I'm so glad we found out about the Heartworm before trying to have that done though, he may not have come out of it. We got him his shots, then planned on Neutering..but did the Heartworm test right before that and it came back positive, I'm so glad we found that.

You can see such a difference in his behavior now that he's healthy. He's got so much more energy, he's way more inclined to run around the house, the backyard, etc. Before the treatment I would throw the ball in the yard for him and after three throws, literally, he would just pant and lie down, he didn't want to play anymore. Now I can't get him to stop running!
