Now to get our other boys tested soon and make sure they get on prevention. Didn't know it was around here but I guess Grand Junction has quite a bit of it. So praying theirs comes out negative and we can get Kohanna better!

News On Kohanna-Not the best:( But hopeful!
So Kohanna hasn't been quite himself lately and has been having some breathing issues so after rescheduling him a couple times this week for emergency doc visits and MRI we got him into the vet yesterday. They did blood work and x-rays. We looked at x-rays yesterday and they looked really good, actually better than she thought for an old dog like him. Then today she called with the results of blood and it is heartworm:( that is NOT good. But she said it is probably early in the stages so she thinks we can do the treatment and he will be ok. So next week he will go in for his treatments. Two days in a row. He will get an injection deep in his back muscle so he will be on pain meds and then they will monitor him all day. Then we pray he is able to shed the dying worms without any issues and then no activity for the next month, not even walks. For Kohanna that won't be an issue:) lazy boy!!! She said other than this his bloodwork is awesome so he should have an even longer life:)

heart worm, one of the most dreaded phrases for dog owners! I'm so glad it was caught early and hope he is able to recover quickly! At least you were able to find some answers that you can work with
