"Molly" was a precious soul that came into the animal shelter as a stray on July 8, 2020. She was a calm, sweet senior. Although she was very thin and tested heartworm positive, Zen Animal Rescue found room in their heart and home to take her in. She was rescued from the shelter on July 16, 2020! She was sponsored by a pledged donation to the rescue from Anne.

A short time later I received an update from Zen Animal Rescue:
I wanted to update you on sweet Molly. We went for a wellness exam today and found out that she is a very sick girl. No worries though, she will get all she needs here with us.
Her ears are both loaded with so many ticks that we cannot count, we pulled several large/engorged ones off her body and based on that I decided to do a 4DX test and she came positive for a serious tick borne disease called erlichia. That test also includes a hw test and although we know she is positive, it runs it anyway and she came back a very high positive so we did a microfilaria test and it’s extremely high also. She’s loaded, sadly.
Our plan is to keep her comfy and happy and with our vets guidance we are starting her on slow kill and a 30 day round of doxycycline. I absolutely love her, she is an angel and I will keep you posted on her.
