All our best to Emma. About 10 years ago, I was in veterinary medicine, and saw a number of heartworm cases. The treatments then (and for years before) were dangerous and extensive. With modern medicine, the veterinary field has made tremendous progress in treating heartworm. Two injections, and some super quiet time, and she'll be better than before. I had rescued a Pit Bull from the streets a few years back, and I had him neutered, vaccinated, heartworm tested and microchipped, and then the day after his surgery, we had him treated for heartworm. He was a pretty active dog, and I have to say, he recovered without one bit of trouble. As long as you trust your vet, and follow instructions, she'll be good to go. Get well soon sweetheart.
