In the last VetChat, we learned briefly about heartworms and heartworm disease. In this column, we’ll spend more time on this parasite that is increasingly coming to the attention of veterinarians and cat guardians. In fact, concern regarding heartworm disease and the life-threatening diseases that it can cause is becoming so significant that the American Association of Feline Practitioners has joined in a “Know Heartworms” campaign. Heartworm disease often kills young cats in the prime of their lives.
While most cat guardians know that parasites such as fleas, ticks and heartworms are hazards for cats with outdoors lifestyles, it’s also possible for indoors-only cats to suffer from some of these pests. Familiarizing yourself with the life cycles of these parasites, the clinical signs that an affected cat may have, preventive measures and safe and effective treatments will help you keep your kitties healthy and happy.
Dr. Gaspar and Feline Pine have teamed up to produce these short videos to help you understand more about the health of your feline friends
