Spunky is also a Katrina survivor. He was brought to Michigan to be rehabilitated. The first night here he was tested for heartworm and tested positive. He was then put on treatments right away. Heartworm treatments were a nightmare for him. He is such an active dog, being confined to very short walks is not what he looks forward to. He wants to run, play, dig holes and bark at other dogs, you can say he is very hyperactive.
After eight weeks of being on restriction he was able to go for longer walks but started misbehaving, he was jumping up and biting at the arms of the people trying to walk him, (he's getting better). It was now time to be retested for heartworm to make sure the last treatment destroyed all the worms, it didn't. He then had to go through another set of treatments which made him very upset and agitated.
After three more months he now has a clean bill of health and is working very hard at his behavior modification program. He now gets to go for long runs and jogs which makes him a very happy boy.
