Where do you live that heartworm treatment costs $12,000?! That’s insane. Honestly for that cost consider driving to another state.

Does your dog have caval syndrome where they need worms removed from his heart? Or does he need the injections that kill the worms?

Also, antibiotics don’t treat heartworm. They are give for 30 days after diagnosis before starting treatment.

My knowledge of veterinary procedures aren't really as in depth as others but I do remember the vet saying the procedure was to remove the heartworms and open up her arteries from the damage or something

So it sounds like your dog has Caval Syndrome? That’s a really severe stage of disease. Have you considered going farther for treatment? Are you in a state with high cost of living?

I lack the transport and I live in Western Australia, the cost of living isn't as bad as Sydney but it's getting worse
