President’s Message
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Last October I inherited the mother of my rough blue merle collie when
her owner passed away suddenly. “Gigi” is a very sweet little girl, an AKC
champion, who came from a large kennel in North Carolina. While all the dogs
there were well cared for something went wrong. A few of them tested positive
for heartworm—Gigi included. Thankfully Gigi was not coughing or having any
difficulty breathing. The echocardiogram did not indicate severe heart damage
and there were no microfilaria (baby worms) in her bloodstream. However,
Gerrie Oliver she also tested positive for whipworms and hookworms. Since Gigi was also
a bit anemic, treatment for those worms began immediately and aggressively
and she was put on the regular monthly dosage of Interceptor Plus to keep things under control.
(I’ve learned that the monthly treatments will prevent them from contracting heartworm but will
not cure it once it is established. This simply prevented any new infections.) Once she was
stabilized, the regimen for actual heartworm treatment began early in November.
It started by giving Gigi a month-long dosage of Doxycline to rid her system of any bacteria that
could interfere with treatment. Trouble with that was that the Doxy made her very nauseous.
She vomited frequently and refused all food, even home-cooked meals and deli
Ramapo Kennel Club meats. OTC stomach antacids did no good. Since Doxy must be given with food,
Officers it really complicated things. Ultrasounds and more blood tests insured it wasn’t

Gerrie Oliver was put on anti-nausea and appetite stimulants Mirtazapine, Ondansetron and

stopped and she began eating again.
Jeffrey David Ball According to the original plan, once the Doxycyline treatments were complete,
Gigi was to be given a month without meds to allow her system to rest. Then

146th ANNUAL WESTMINSTER KENNEL CLUB DOG SHOW ANNOUNCES
NEW 2022 EVENT LOCATION AND DATE
The 2022 events will return to the Lyndhurst Estate in Tarrytown, NY after Omicron surge in
New York City caused a postponement
New York, NY — The 146th Annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show presented by Purina
Pro Plan is announcing that the postponed January 22-26 events are now scheduled for
June 18-22, 2022, at the Lyndhurst Estate in Tarrytown, NY, with 19.5 hours of television
coverage scheduled across FOX, FS1, and FS2.
In December of 2021, the club postponed the January events, due to the surge of the
Omicron variant in New York City. This is the second year in a row the organization has had
to adjust the timing of America’s Dog Show due to the pandemic. With the safety and well-
being of the participants remaining the driving force, the Westminster Kennel Club’s Board
of Governors determined that an outdoor event is again the most responsible plan of action.
