When Pepe was brought to us he was in a bad condition. He was not only very ill, but also very sad. He was weak, would not eat and had a terrible cough. Pepe had recently lost his owner and his zest for life. At first the vet couldn't explain exactly what was wrong with the little guy, because even after two rounds of antibiotic treatment there was no real improvement in his cough, so we asked the vet to perform a heartworm test on Pepe and unfortunately the test came back positive. Pepe was found to be in an advanced stage of this disease.

Heartworm disease is a serious disease that results in severe lung damage, heart failure and death in dogs. It is caused by a parasitic worm called Dirofilaria immitis. The worms are spread through the bite of an infected mosquito. Caught in time this disease is absolutely curable, but the treatment is a bit of a lengthy, complex, and expensive process and therefore Pepe needs your help. Once Pepe is healed, he can lead a completely normal life and start looking for his forever home. Our vets and we have a lot of experience in treating this disease and we are confident that we can make Pepe fully healthy again. We can only suggest to every dog ​​owner that prevention is the best remedy for this disease. Use deworming tablets and spot ons on your dogs which are also effective against heartworm and you will keep your beloved furry family members safe.
