HEARTWORM SEASON IS
APPROACHING AGAIN! The heartworm parasite ((Dirofilaria immitis) lives in the heart and pulmonary arteries of an infected animal. They eventually reach the lungs and the heart chambers about 6
months after the initial infection. Several hundred may live in one dog for 5 to 7 years. This is a serious and possibly fatal disease.
They are transmitted from animal to animal by mosquitos. They are so tiny at injection that they are invisible but can attain lengths of up to 12 inches according to some sources.
All Companion Pets are susceptible to heartworm disease, especially those living where there are high mosquito populations.
So, please check with your vet about having your pet tested. Help your furry friend to live a long, happy life. If you’d like to read more about this, the ASPCA has a good article at:
