Weekend : Roller Coaster!!

Well.. why i mention roller coaster?.... is it been a roller coaster ride for all of us during weekend.. including mom!.. is a synonymous for sudden happiness - agony - sad...

First, mom brought us for spa!!.. yes... another agony of waiting and letting those stoopid hand touches your whole body.. some holding scissors.. some spray water on you.. and some blow dry you with those giant air hose... but this time around, it was ok .. cause i have Hercules to accompany me.. so, it wasn't as bad as last time..

This is me!..



And this is Hercules.. getting ready to go home..


Of course, when we get home, both of us was so pooped out.. and we just dropped to deep sleep... the next day.. daddy woke up early to bring both us to walk...


Eerrrrr... actually it doesn't look good as showed in the picture.. we entangled the
leash around dad as we both moved around the opposite side and circulating dad legs.. heheheh
But it was fun!.. eventho' is a short walkies..


Then... later in the afternoon, mom bought Hercules for check up since we decided to adopt him.. mom wanted to get him vaccinated so that she can apply the dog license for Hercules.. and look who they met at the vet! Yes, is ShaSha and her owners... and can you see ShaSha, she has been thinking that she is a Hercules instead.. she tried to pull Hercules to walk around.. hahahah...







Ok.. the sad part is now..... hmm...i dunno what to say... mom told me that Hercules was tested positive for Heartworm disease

I dunno what it is but i know is fatal.. that's why mom gave me this big pellet every month called Heartgard for prevention of this disease since i was only 3 months old.. guess, Hercules previous owner never take care of him.. and never do any prevention ended up Hercules has to suffer..

Mom did look at the test and saw the baby worm in his blood through microscope... that really makes mom's heart nearly crack into 2 pieces.. i know mom was very sad the moment she came back... and now, she will need to make appointment again with the vet for Hercules to do treatment.. it will be at least 2-3 days treatment where Hercules need to admit himself in vet hospital and stay there for 3 days.. But lucky part is we found this infection still at an early stage and mom really hope that it can easily cure...


He is still very young.. how can a young pup like him can get this kind of diseases?... mom is very furious with the previous owner for not giving any prevention to Hercules earlier on.. and worst part is... he been abandoned!...

Hercules getting more and more attached to mom.....




Am ok today for not putting most of my pictures in this post... Hope Hercules will feel better now..

Dearest Rossi,

I know you are upset about Hercules being sick but he is a strong little man and he will be OK. My brother Toby had really bad heartworms & he almost died. At least Hercules's heartworms were caught early. Toby had his heartworm treatment when he first came into DROH and everybody thought he was fine so the Mommy brought him home to foster. 6 months after the Mommy started fostering him it got worse and the worms went into his lungs. Toby had to go back to the vet hospital and had oxygen therapy for 6 weeks but the Mommy went everyday to sit with him. Then when he was better the Mommy couldn't give him up and he became by big brother. You have seen his picture and you know how big and strong he is.

As long as you are there to help him stay calm when he gets home it will be fine. The Mommy can talk to your Mommy if she needs to talk about it.

Love always........your Mona.

Isn't it fun tangling the leashes. I like to wait till my owner mom has a bag of poop in her hand and two other dogs are walking by. Then I tie her up.

Hope Hercules gets better quick. He looks like a nice brother.

Feel very sad for Hercules but I do hope he will get better soon. With all the love & care you & your hoomans shower him, I know he will get better very fast. How old do you think he is? To me, he's already more than 1 or maybe 2 years old coz all his adult hair has already grown out. Sending him some Golden love!

Love licks,

dom dom said...

Hi Rossi,

Sad to hear such a news. Daddy has been sending me to the vet every month to be dewormed. Hopefully the pill that I took is Heartgard.

Ferndoggle said...

Oh No! Those heartworms are BAD news. Hercules is such a lucky pup that you found him & that you're going to get him treated. In a couple of months, it would have so much worse!

Good luck Herc.

Luckily it was detected early and he is able to still go for the treatment. Heartworm treatment can be really harsh. Rascal kor-kor had seen dogs going thru that treament before in the US. But just pray hard and we'll hope for the best for him.

No worries ok Rossi.

Katherine and Pippa said...

Hiya Rossi

Really sorry to hear about Hercules and the heartworm. But we have read about a few dogs on here now that found they had it, and have got better.

So we'll cross our paws and be thinking of you all.

Charlie said...

Take good care of your brother now & be extra nice to him, Rossi!

We adopted a golden once that turned out to have heartworms, and the worst part of the treatment was having to keep her really quiet for weeks after the treatment. And she was not a quiet-type golden!

We'll keep our paws crossed for Hercules!

Balboa said...

Oh no, Hercules is in our thoughts and prayers. We are happy he is in a home that loves and cares about him, and wants to protect and heal him.

Suki & Joey said...

Oh NOES!

Don't worry, Rossi. Lots of pups make it through heartworm ok, it's just going to be tough, that's all. He'll be really tired and sick and probably in a lot of pain for a while, but then he'll be OK and ready to play again! :)

Puggy kisses
Suki & Joey
