The First 48 Hours After a Heartworm Diagnosis...

This short guide exists to help you slow down, avoid panic‑driven decisions, and focus only on what actually matters right now — before you’re asked to decide anything.

Nothing needs to be fixed today.
You are not behind.

Inside the First 48 Hours guide, you’ll find:

• what to do first
• what can most likely wait
• how to keep routines calm and protective
• how to reduce emotional overwhelm (for you and your dog)
• when to call your veterinarian — and when it’s okay to pause

This is not medical advice.
It’s a grounding starting point.
