Spring and Summer is right around the corner, it's time to start thinking about flea,
tick and heartworm prevention for your pets.
It is a common misconception that only outdoor cats
and dogs are at risk for infestation. While outdoor pets
are at higher risk of coming in contact with fleas and ticks,
your pet will eventually run around the backyard or sunbathe on the porch.
All pet owners need to think about protecting your pet
against heartworm disease. The heartworm cycle
begins when a mosquito bites your pet. As the mosquito
feeds on the blood of infected animal, immature heart-
worms, enter into the mosquito. During several weeks
of warm weather the microfilaria begin to mature within
the mosquito, then are passed to another animal when the
mosquito feeds again.
From the time of infection, it takes about 6 weeks for the
microfilaria in the pet's bloodstream to mature. The
adult worms like to live near and in the heart.
Heartworms can grow up to 12 to 14 inches in length,
causing irreparable damage to the heart.
Signs of heartworm disease are coughing, difficulty
breathing, fainting, fatique, weight loss, and if left untreated,
death from heart failure.
Heartworms disease is treatable. The most common
methods of prevention are monthly tablets prescribed
by your vet.
