to very mildly heart-worm positive on Friday (August 18, 2017). I had a full blood panel so that a second heart-worm test would be sent out to a laboratory and a chest X-ray has been done to confirm this diagnosis and it is confirmed although it is just beginning so no damage has been done. In order to assure that the treatment is completely effective since it is in its early stages his treatment will need to be done in November to assure that all the parasites are killed. I was put on the initial medication and then in November the final doses will be given, SRC will treat me for this condition to assure that I am completely free of this parasite and do not have any future problems. This is such a shame because monthly heart-worm preventative is economical and should have been given to me by my original owner. Fortunately SRC cares enough to assure that I get this treatment before any damage is done and I will be fine once it is done. It is important that I get monthly Heart-worm preventative from now on! Everyone should care about my future health and well-being! I also have all my vaccinations -- Rabies, DHPP, and Bordatella. I had been picked up by Animal Control as a stray and no one claimed me so SRC was happy to rescue me from a local shelter. Now I have been evaluated for 2 weeks by my foster family who live in Traveler's Rest, SC. I am a Schnauzer/ Scottish Terrier mix, very friendly and get along well with other dogs. I ride very well in a car -- I love to look out the back window to see where we have been and all you need to do is say, "Hop up" and I am in the car in no time flat! I love to ride! I weigh 22 pounds and am Black with Brown furnishings. It is absolutely unbelievable to the volunteers at SRC how any one could have let me slip through their fingers. Everyone who meets me falls in love immediately! (1903) LENNY's Story LENNY with this unique identification number: (SRC#1903) came into our care and is being prepared for adoption by a foster family who have gone thru our approval process. He was picked up by Animal Control as a stray and released to SRC when no one claimed him. Lenny is good with other dogs and currently has all his vaccinations. He was neutered on August 18 plus had his Heart-worm test which turned out to be positive, then he received a full blood panel and an X-ray plus another Heart-worm test was sent to a professional lab to assure that his condition is truly positive. He is very mildly positive yet SRC is still going to do his treatment to assure that he will have no future health problems. He is already on the initial medication and his final treatment is in November. His foster mom says that he is a real sweetheart and loves to play with squeaky toys. He loves activity and would be a great family companion for an active family once he gets over his treatment. He will require crate rest for a few weeks after his final Heart-worm treatment so that he recovers properly. Lenny is very intelligent and loves being with his humans! Pleasing them is very important to him. We at SRC just want him to have that loving home he deserves. When ready for adoption this dog will be treated for heart-worms in 3 months from his test which was August 18 *(his adoption does not have to wait --this will be written into his adoption contract) , de-wormed, vaccinations brought up to date, neutered if not done already, micro-chipped, examined fully by a vet and any necessary medical issues found by this vet will have been addressed.
