Sippi fund is up to $325!! Thanks y'all (-:
Back from my week of meetings and workshops, I picked up Sippi this morning from the vet's office. She came prancing out, wagged her tail to see me, but seemed more excited with the general scene than me. I mentioned to Dr. Dixon that I thought she liked being at the clinic. She said, "I think she LOVES being here." Apparently, Sippi likes watching everything that is going on and seeing the other dogs.
Sippi came home with doxycycline, prednisone, and carafate. She is to take the carafate before the doxy. The doxy is to kill the bacteria that live in the heartworms. The prednisone is to help the inflammation from the worms. She has stopped coughing up blood. Her coughing has never effected her attitude, moxie, or appetite. We are tentatively looking to the first week of April to start the shots.
Sadly for Sippi, is the problem for all heartworm positive dogs, she has to stay on leash walk only. This means no backyard time with Sandy or even wandering there by herself. She'll have to be stuck in the basement, with the radio, her peanut butter bones, and tearing up stuff. In fact, I'm not 100% sure she is glad to be back as the other two dogs are.
