This is my worst nightmare. Even though he tested negative on 12/29, and has supposedly been on a preventative each month, he tested a light positive at the vet yesterday.
Because his positive was so light, the vet wants to wait a month and retest him, because she is concerned about a false positive. I had given him a preventative for this month, thinking it was the right thing to do, and the positive may have been caused by the microfalaria (sp?) being killed by the preventative given.
The good news is, he doesn't have any actual worms, just the babies, so even is he is positive, his poor heart will not be damaged.
Please send us vibes that he had a false positive and will not need to be put through the treatments.
I'm switching him over to raw immeadiatly to strengthen him up in case he does need to be treated, is there anything else I can do?
