Check out Mila!
Big Dog, Big Heartworm | The Bark
Feel free to like her! Bark Magazine | Facebook Trying to do this blog to help prevent heartworm, and so that people know what heartworm treatment is all about - what it looks like, how much it costs, and what heartworm really is. I hope you can take a minute to check her story out and read about HW - so excited that the Bark is helping us!

Thanks for posting that pic - and yes, she is a pretty girl, with such a big personality.
This was when she first came in - so sad.

Jean:
Have you ever seen this YouTube video of a dog having his heartworms removed from his jugular vein while awake? The dog is quite sick with caval syndrome and the video is quite an eye-opening experience. The video is entitled "Davey's gift from Dr. Garner." A total of 86 adult heartworms were removed from this dog named Davey.

Jean,
I love the blog and I'm very happy that it got some "press". Ditto for BDBH! I think you do an excellent job of breaking down and explaining HW on the blog. And what a difference you can see in Mila. She's one good looking "older" gal!

Shannon - would that be okay to post on the blog? I haven't had the stomach to watch it!
Rebel - OMG - that's very scary. I mean, you think of the size...alive...worms...blah. Diana - thank you SO much - I am really excited to think that maybe it will help so that another dog doesn't have to do this. I was very glad that my vet office took the pictures of the actual injections. I am hoping those images will stick with people. Mila says thanks too.

I have nothing to do with the video of the heartworm extraction that I posted/shared here. I was just hoping that it might be useful in terms of education. The video is on YouTube. It was shared with me last year. Shannon
