While checking Craigslist's lost dog posts against Fulton's found dogs yesterday, I came across a man's plea for help with his dog's heartworm treatment. Vonn recently rescued Mickey, a two year old beagle mix, from the streets and took him to WellPet Humane for vaccines, and he tested positive for HWs. They quoted him a price of $375 for treatment, plus the cost of preventives and doxycycline or minocycline. Vonn is unemployed but offered to do handyman or yard work to raise money. I plan to start a fundraising page, as his daddy isn't very web-savvy, but, first, I wanted to see if anyone knows of a cheaper option for treatment or the antibiotics. I hesitate to recommend slow kill without a vet's approval. He's in Norcross. I'm also looking for discounts on microchipping and neuter, as Mickey needs those, too.
Thanks in advance!
