Adult heartworm treatment

Update posted by Maricris Butial

It's been four days after his first of two doses of MELARSOMINE (medicine used to treat adult and juvenile heartworms). As per his doctor, there's no significant negative changes in Choco's general behavior, his appetite is still good, regular waste excretions, no heavy panting nor coughing, still his sweet and relaxed self, all these despite that fast kill risks. Manifestation of complications are expected to come in on the 3rd to 30th day. But we consider each day a victory. Prayers work definitely and your outpouring love is Choco's strength. Please continue praying for Choco. Let's not give up on this brave warrior. It's a long way to go but your support will let him win this battle.


Aside from his heart worm infestation. Choco has MAST CELL TUMOR on his face, TVT on his penile area starting to regrow, Bladder stones which impede his normal urination, ehrlichiosis. Kindly refer to the gallery to see the latest blood chemistry and biopsy results.
