Bogan
Update: 10/17/08
Bogan is an approximately five-year-old fawn male turned into the Humane Society of North Texas by a neglectful owner. Bogan is heartworm positive and will start treatment as soon as Dr. Jeff Ellis, VCA Preston Park Animal Hospital deems his condition will tolerate the treatment. He is a very sweet boy who is a little confused at this time. It is not known if Bogan is small animal or cat tolerant.
The special medical treatment cost needed by Bogan is why the Miss Mesa Fund was established. If you would like to help with Bogan's care, please take a moment to make a donation to the fund. You can use a credit card, check or PayPal by making the donation through the GALT GreytStore. You can also write a check (Greyhound Adoption League of Texas, P.O. Box 680, Addison, TX 75001) and note Miss Mesa Fund/Bogan on your check.

Bogan is finally heartworm negative! During the remainder of his surgery procedures, a growth was removed from Bogan’s right hip, which has been diagnosed as histiocytic sarcoma. Dr. Jeff Ellis and Dr. Christy Soileau are evaluating his treatment options, if any, at this time.
Update

Bogan received his second treatment for heartworms on July 9 and 10. He tolerated the two injections okay. Bogan is being kept very quiet in his foster home for the next 60 days, at which time it is hopeful he will test negative for heartworms.
Update

Bogan received his first heartworm treatment on May 21 under the care of Dr. Ellis. He was not feeling well for the first 2 weeks, with a lot of coughing. He was administered a regime of antibiotics, which seems to have improved his condition. Bogan will continue to be closely monitored, and will be kept very quiet until his second round of treatments.
