Do you know where in New Mexico Zoe came from??

I believe there is a protocol now of treating Heartworm positive dogs 
with Heartguard, rather than the expensive treatment.  Check with 
several vets for opinions.  In any case the spay will have to wait until she 
is in better health. If you have info on Zoe's breeder email me privately 
please. Bless you for helping this girl.
