My best answer for you is to take your dog to a local vet and have them help you. You may also go to your local pet store and have them pick out a medicine to cure the heart worms. Anyways, I will find someone that have more knowledge about heart worms and he/she will help you.

You will need to get medicine.  But keep the dog from being over active and they should take it easy.  Over excercise could kill them.  They need the medicine quickly.

Is that lol as in laughing out loud or does lol mean something different here?  Seems quite peculiar to type lol after you are talking about your dog having heart worms. :confused1:  On a related note, my parrot has malignant tumors, lol.

 Motor needs to go to the vet IMMEDIATELY.  Having heartworm is a very serious condition and many pets die every year from lack of veterinary care.  I wouldn't recommend using any de-wormers on Motor without the advice of a veterinarian as most do nothing for heartworm and you would be wasting valuable time.  Only a vet would be able to tell how far the heartworm has advanced and usually by the time there are syptoms, it's a serious matter.  DO NOT attempt to buy any heartworm products on your own and use them in attempt to eliminate the heartworm---the reason the vet does a blood test before recommending heartworm tabs is because if one gives their pet a heartworm tab and the dog already has heartworm, the meds can kill the pet.
