My family adopted a dog from a family member who couldn’t take care of him anymore. He’s a rescue from the south and probably around 3 yrs old, mixed breed (30 lbs), neutered. 
He’s had tons of health and especially digestive issues since he was brought up and finally this October the vet did some blood work and said it was heartworm, and more than likely came from when he was a stray in the south (honestly we’re a little sad/annoyed that it wasn’t found sooner, considering all the health issues we’ve brought up to the vet, but now we’re just trying to get him better)
