@Capt_Jack_our_Basenji:
Jennifer! This is so crasy because Im looking to Foster a Shelter Basenji no one will adopt here in Oahu because he has heart Worms.
Is it hard or expensive for treatment?The TX here ran about $500. I think in other parts of the country it is around $800.
Painful for the Basenji? The TX is aweful on the dog. Before the TX the dogs are depressed and really do not move. After they are treated they have to be confined for 3-4 weeks. They don't eat, don't move and scream in pain when you try to pick them up. There is also no guarantee the TX will actually work. If it doesn't you have to repeat it.
I dont know too much about heart worms, but i know I dont want to turn away for this little guy, I feel like he Needs me. I just dont know what to do.
Here is his Page: http://www.hawaiianhumane.org/adoptions_detail?opt=dog&id=472662&page=1&select_type=&select_breed=&sysgender=&syssize=
If you have any advise please let me know 
Sugar is in my thoughts!!
It is an absolutley excruciating treatment. And it broke my heart to see her that way. But, and this is a big but, Once they start feeling better, they are a completely different dog. She plays now, eats like a hog, gets into trouble. Everything a good Basenji does. So the reward is amazing. I looked on the site and there was no record for that dog. Maybe he did get adopted….
Good luck.
