Elena wants to thank all the donors that have supported her as well as our other heartworm patients (Mila, Evelyn, and Richie).
Unlike for the other three dogs, after echocardiography, a slow protocol for treatment was recommended – which is cheaper, safer, and more patient-friendly. Alas, it is not appropriate for all cases, yet it was about time for Elena to get lucky!
Currently, in addition to dirofilariasis, Elena gets treated for anaplasmosis, ehrlichiosis, and demodicosis. The giardia is already handled. As you can see from the video, she is also to have an appointment with an orthopedist, yet the condition of her leg does not require urgency, so we prefer to let her strengthen more first.
What a wonderful girl Elena is! As a reminder: we took her from the municipal shelter in Seslavtsi, along with her five miniature babies. You’d get introduced to them tomorrow!
