We had Reagan at the vet yesterday for a full check-up. She weighs 75 lbs and they estimate she’s around 4 years old. If her big smile doesn’t give it away, she absolutely loved being there and meeting new people.
Unfortunately, Reagan did test heartworm positive. While it wasn’t unexpected, it’s still tough news to hear. Her skin and coat will take time to heal and her teeth are pretty worn down, likely from chewing and nibbling at herself for so long.
When Reagan was rescued, there was some concern about how bloated her belly looked. She ended up throwing up quite a bit of trash at intake so the vet performed an ultrasound just to be safe. Thankfully, they found no additional concerns.
For now, Reagan will continue her antibiotics, supplements and medicated baths while her skin heals. Once she’s healthy enough, she’ll be spayed and begin heartworm treatment.
We really appreciate everyone that donated towards Reagan’s medical care 💜🩺 Thank you!!
