After careful consideration, the vet team came to the conclusion that her only option would be an invasive, fast heartworm treatment, which implied a series of injections over several months.

That was her last chance of survival, and the rescue team was inclined to give her a chance. Additionally, she was kept on fluids, fed every couple of hours, and received needed antibiotics to help her go through this.

During her treatment, Prima started to exhibit signs of progress. She miraculously started to feel so much better, and her swollen belly soon disappeared. To everyone's shock, Prima beat the odds like a champ as her heartworms slowly vanished from her body.

"She wasn't going to let anything from her past stand in her way of a happily ever after. This little miracle refused to be held down by the word hospice any longer," the rescue wrote on Facebook.
