The management of over-correction of hyponatremia is similar to the general approach to hyponatremia: 1  Defend the intravascular volume. 2  Prevent the sodium from increasing any further Fluid restriction: make the patient NPO and stop IV fluids. 3  Consult Nephrology.
Heartworm treatment recovery is often rough. Heartworm treatment often causes pain to spread throughout the dog's lower back muscles and makes the dog feel nauseated. Both symptoms will usually ease in a couple of days. As the worms begin dying off, it is common for a dog to cough or gag.
No one wants to hear that their dog has heartworm, but the good news is that most infected dogs can be successfully treated. The goal is to first stabilize your dog if he is showing signs of disease, then kill all adult and immature worms while keeping the side effects of treatment to a minimum.
