Baldwin's 2nd heartworm test is negative

Baldwin is doing much better and is now in a foster home. He is very slowly gaining weight after being fed 3 times a day at the vets. We have run the initial tests again and now find out that the heartworm positive is now negative, and the Ehrlichia positive is now negative. I am so happy about these results. We also tested him for EPI which is a problem with the dog absorbing the nutrients from their food. That came back negative, also. He is currently receiving Vitamin B12 shots weekly and being fed 3 times a day. He eats very rapidly so is now using a special bowl to slow him down. Baldwin is a wonderful, sweet, great with all size dogs, boy. He still needs work on his house breaking, and still needs to be neutered when he has gained enough weight.
