Lucy was due for her annual vacs today and the vet asked about heart worm and it was something that we hadnt thought about so they did a test. First they shaved her leg and then took some blood. She did back away a little but she was very good.
Her blood test showed negative so we can start her on a monthly tablet from tomorrow. The tablet we chose for her also guards against fleas and ticks so she doesnt need to wear a flea collar.
A pretty orange bandage was put over her shaved leg after they took the blood. The vet said to leave it on for a couple of hours. I was dreading taking it off but it wasnt sticky just a little stretchy which kept it on.
Unfortunately Lucy didnt make the journey home without losing the treats was given to her, it was about a twenty five minute trip. We will have to get her some travel sickness pills.
