Fostering During Heartworm Treatment
Heartworm infection is a treatable illness! Thanks for considering helping a heartworm-positive Springer!
Perhaps you are a foster home that has never had a HW+ guest, or perhaps you are a potential adopter that has agreed to foster a Springer during treatment, under ESRA's care, and you'll be adopting the Springer when he/she is healthy.
