Heartworm is transmitted from dog to dog and cat to cat by mosquitos. Heartworm happens when a mosquito draws blood from a dog or cat infected with heartworm, it takes with it a number of small immature worms called microfilariae and later, when the mosquito bites a new victim, the disease-causing larvae are injected, and that dog or cat becomes infected.
Common signs of heartworm infection can include fatigue, chronic coughing, vomiting, weight loss and damage to the heart, lungs and liver as well as obstruction of blood flow result from this infestation can caused sudden death. However, with proper monitoring, blood work and heartworm preventive medications, you can avoid this problem and keep your friend safe and in good health.
