It is hard sometimes to believe that Buddy has heartworms, because he has LOTS of energy and likes to be moving! Here is the first picture that I managed to take of him lying down.

BUDDY'S FIRST TRIP TO VET--March 1, 2013
Today was Buddy's first trip to the vet. He weighed 51 pounds! He certainly needs to add a few pounds. We knew from the Abilene shelter that he was heartworm-positive, and he does have a bad cough (mostly at night) that is likely caused by the heartworms. He received his vaccinations today and had x-rays to help determine how advanced the heartworms are. The vet recommended waiting until after his heartworm treatment to proceed with neutering. First, Buddy will receive a month's course of an antibiotic that will weaken the heartworms.
