Charlie - Heartworms

Due to my utter lack of attention my dog (Charlie) has fell victim to heart worms. I took him to the vet a couple weeks back for his yearly checkup and he tested positive for heartworms. We went ahead and started him on the expensive treatment. Unfortunaly, this treatment is 8 weeks and I'm supposed to keep him as immobile as possible. No running No fetching and No swimming for the entire 8 weeks. Needless to say its proving to be quite a challenge. Fortunatly it was a mild case, and the vet said he should have no problem pulling through. We got charlie back on the heartworm pills and started him on comfortis flea pills. The flea pills have worked amazing! 30 min after giving him the pill he was flea free and continues to be flea and tick free after 3 weeks. We are about 3 weeks into the treatment, he has a 3rd checkup on Monday and then goes in the following Tuesday for the second and final shot to kill the rest of the heartworms. Then its 3 more weekly checkups and everything will hopefully be back to normal.
