Every single dog owner should be made to watch this video! I mistakenly thought heartworms were microscopic, not as large as they are, and that is after multiple visits to the vet and recently adopting a heartworm positive dog. I just had no idea. ..

If owners have money for non-essentials like beer, entertainment and weed, then they have money to treat their pets. They just don't and that is not our responsibility, no matter how hard it is to see a sick pet walk out the door.

Fuck parasites. There are tons of different types of these assholes and humans are not safe either. In fact there is a good chance you might be infected with some type of worm. T Gondii is found in 1 in 3 people!! that thing is a freaking brain parasite! That's just the start of it, there are tons of parasites that you may be infected with.

That looks gross... spaghetti?.. why in the world are you guys talking about spaghetti at the moment. If I even think about eating spaghetti, while thinking of heartworms, I probably puke all over my clothes... lol

@AlienZygote010 Is there any you can get CareCredit to get the dog his treatment? Some owners are unaware of CareCredit and if a vet's office doesn't offer it, they won't tell an owner about it. I'm assuming you have your dog on a ivermectin regimen to reduce the heartworms? We saw positive results with that treatment. Don't allow him to overexert himself. And, god forbid, he should be taken anyway, remember that you gave him life where others left him for dead.

@AlienZygote010 I'm really sorry about your dog. Honestly, it was owners like you that made me want to stay in such a job. As many selfish people as I saw, I saw just as many that loved their animals like family and would do anything for them. I'm sorry if I was snappy, I was just trying to clear the misconception that veterinary employees only care about money. If ever we had to send a pet away because the owner had no money, many of us would be sad and wonder about the fate of the animal.

@Darkkarma42 That is horrible. Very sickening indeed. But I am in a situation listed above. A starving dog showed up at my house to weak to move. I fed him baby formula and bathed him. When he recovered and could run from me he would not come near me for months. Today he loves me to death and he can't stand for me to even go to the bathroom, and he defended me from getting mugged one time. However, I am an unemployed student and he has heartworms. I am tortured about this.
