re: Update in OP; Treating young lab for heart worms

Thanks for all of the insight. Will try to respond to all here.

This was a second positive test that we just got. I forget the term, but she's in the significanct or highly positive range.

If she sees a leash she goes hyper and starts jumping up and down running around Because she is so excited.

One of you mentioned a 10x10 kennel; that's an idea I will ask about. I got the idea that a travel crate would be needed something only big enough to stand up and move around s little bit. I'll build a 10x10 (or smaller) enclosure if that's an option.

The cost is crazy, but if it makes her well it will be worth it.

Fish- The treatment is 30 days on antibiotics then wait 30 days for them to fully work. Then a shot and crated for 4 weeks. Then 2 shots and an overnight stay at vet and then another 4 weeks in crate. Any excitement can cause heartworms parts to flush through and form blood clots so you have to keep them very calm, cool and rested until worms fully disolve. Don't know how that's possible with such a young and active dog.
