Milo was brought into R2R to fly to a Greyhound Adoption Group in the USA, and thanks to R2R’s thorough Health Checks on USA bound dogs he diagnosed with early-stage heartworm.
• it’s a fatal condition he picked up racing in northern Queensland
• R2R was not able to find a vet who had treated Heartworm and knowing that the cure can be hard on dogs, it was a tough decision to put him through the 3 month regime, but our vet advised to try and give him a chance and thankfully his coped well with the injections.
• while he was undergoing treatment with R2R, he was alas restricted to a very small kennel for 3 months to prevent his sudden death from any running
• finally given freedom to race around a backyard, he was fostered by Andy & Louise
• Then ADOPTED by Ruby!
Well, the exciting news is that he recently tested negative in his final test which means ALL the heartworm eggs in his system were killed (along with the worms) by his first treatment. So, now Milo can go on to live a normal happy hound life (with no plans to return to Qld!)
Ruby shared with R2R that “Milo has a blast running around barking and chasing his siblings in the garden. They are all adopted, my other greyhound Winnie and cattle dog mix Sadie, and being younger they have definitely brought out his playful side. And Milo is always roaching all night long!”
And these photos absolutely show he is living a HAPPY LIFE!
