What an awesome dog! We went to see Dr. Wilkie Friday and got some better news. They did blood work to determine whether his liver and kidneys are functioning properly to see if they're able to treat him. We'll get the results of that Monday. She did say that she thought his cough was kennel cough and unrelated to the heartworms. GREAT news! She also didn't think that his enlarged abdomen was really that but more that he was underfed. Being able to see the dog's backbone and ribcage is a sign of advanced heartworms, but in our case she thinks it's just that he's skinny. She commented that if he were advanced like the other vet said, he should act a lot sicker and he's as happy and energetic as he can be.
So Bailey is inside and is loving life as an inside dog. He's already housebroken! Only took 2 days!! I am amazed that he's a sweet, calm, and affectionate as he is given the conditions that he's been in for the last several years. He's already learned to sit, shake, leave it, lie down, and stay. He loves to jump in bed with us and put his head on our pillow! I hope that we'll get good news again Monday and that we can proceed with treatment for him. Please continue to pray, but things are definitely looking better.
