to nancydeareyles, me, bcc: Christina, bcc: Jo-AnneHello Nancy,
Because our dogs’ continued health and safety are of utmost importance to Airedale Rescue Group, we require our adopters to have a continuous history of heartworm prevention. While there is evidence of HW testing and the results were negative, there is no evidence of the purchase of HW preventative. Therefore, we are declining your application to adopt an Airedale from our organization.
ARG requires a track record of heartworm prevention because heartworm is a very painful death and treatment is also extremely hard on the dog. In seven to nine months, heartworms can move into the heart and if you’re only testing for heartworm annually, there is a chance of the dog dying from the parasite before it has
even been identified in the dog. Signs of heartworm disease may include a mild persistent cough, reluctance to exercise, fatigue after moderate activity, decreased appetite, and weight loss; symptoms that can also indicate other issues causing the potential for heartworm to be dismissed. As heartworm disease progresses, pets may
develop heart failure and the appearance of a swollen belly due to excess fluid in the abdomen. Dogs with large numbers of heartworms can develop sudden blockages of blood flow within the heart leading to a life-threatening form of cardiovascular collapse. This is called caval syndrome and is marked by a sudden onset of labored breathing, pale gums, and dark bloody or coffee-colored urine. Without prompt surgical removal of the heartworm blockage, few dogs survive.In the U.S., heartworm affects 1 in 100 dogs annually, so it is not rare. The treatment costs is well over $1,000 per dog and not all dogs survive heartworm treatment.
Assuming heartworms are identified in time, your dog will need several months of an injectable treatment called melarsomine. This drug has to be given slowly and carefully because if you kill off the worms too quickly it can be dangerous for your dog. Unlike intestinal parasites that are eliminated via bowel movements, heartworms that die slowly decay in the lungs and a dog’s activity must be severely restricted because overtaxing their lungs can be dangerous during treatment. Additionally, while humans don’t usually get heartworms, most preventive heartworm medications also protect against intestinal parasites like hookworms and roundworms, which are contagious to humans, so protecting your dog from heartworms also protects you from other parasites.
Please consider visiting the American Heartworm Society website (www.heartwormsociety.org) for more information about heartworms and
the importance of taking preventative measures against infection.Pat Hairston

It sounds like Dorothy needs to be only dog. She is an escape artist. Do you walk her on a leash? Also – the bites that have occurred sound circumstantial. Can you give more details about those incidents?
