Heartworm

A few days ago we were going to adopt a dog named Burger, but first vets had to check it for illnesses and vaccinate it and stuff. Unfortuenetly, they found out poor Burger had heartworm disease. Like cancer for dogs, it is transmitted by misquitos and is very deadly. But if you find out early enough, the dog may have a chance of surviving. The treatment is to make your take a dose of medicine that kills off all the adult worms. For more info click here.
