I have an adopted dog that was tested positive for hearworm and is on medication. My dog is mostly a good dog but some times he changes into a nasty dog that just gets into all kinds of trouble and will grawl at me. I am wondering if any other heartworm positive dog owners find this happens to their dog as well. I wonder if it has something to do with the heartworms making him a little nuts at times. Thanks for any answers from heartworm dog owners.

The heart worms are in the heart. The worms might make a dog have trouble breathing, cough, and not have energy to play. The worms have never affected the dogs behavior. I rescue dogs,and foster them. Normally the rescue sends heart worm positive dogs to me until treatment is compete. I have had some dogs become sick, but never have they had behavioral problems.
