Tuesday evening update

Noelle is handling her first treatment well, she is resting comfortably and eating well. They have her in an area that is right off the main office, so she has plenty of company. She apparently was not so quiet back in the kennel area, she was lonely. So they moved her, I guess partly to keep their sanity, and partly to keep her settled.

If all goes well throughout the night, she will be treated again tomorrow morning. Provided she does as well with the second treatment, she will come home tomorrow evening. She will remain crated or confined here as well for the next several weeks. Phase two of the treatment will start right before Christmas. The second part of treatment will kill the surplus of microfilariae in the bloodstream. The microfilariae are what will grow up to be adult heartworms.

Good Luck Little Noelle. I hope that your treatments go well and the time you are confined goes fast to you so you can start to really live your life and be a happy happy puppy. I never met you but I love you!
