Heartworm
Heartworms are parasites that are found in the heart and adjacent large blood vessels of infected dogs. Female worms are 6-14” long and ⅛” wide and male worms are about half the size of females. Heartworm is spread by a single mosquito bite exclusively, so it is difficult to avoid without a preventative. Treatment involves injections and ensuring your dog does not excessively play, run, or otherwise be too active during the treatment period. There is not an approved treatment for cats!
