Freaky Facts Friday 😵💫🙀
Today were talking Heartworms 😖🪱
Why do I need to test and retest my dog/cat?
🔹️Annual testing is necessary to ensure that the prevention program is working.
🔹️If you miss just one dose of a monthly medication,or give it late, it can leave your dog vulnerable and exposed. Your dog may also spit out or vomit the heartworm pill or rub off a topical medication rendering it ineffective.
🔹️ The reason for re-testing is that heartworms must be approximately 7 months old before the infection can be diagnosed.
🔹️There is no cure for cats, so prevention is the only way to ensure they don't become infected.
When should you test?
🔹️Puppies under 7 months of age can be started on heartworm prevention without a heartworm test, but should be tested 6 months after your initial visit, tested again 6 months later and yearly after that to ensure they are heartworm-free.
🔹️Adult dogs over 7 months of age and previously not on a preventive need to be tested prior to starting heartworm prevention. They also need to be tested 6 months and 12 months later and annually after that.
🔹️Cats should be tested before being put on prevention and re-tested as your veterinarian deems appropriate to document continued exposure and risk.
Heartworm disease causes irreversible damage to your dogs/cats heart, lungs, arteries, and vessels and can result in death if not treated.
📢💥Just ONE bite from a mosquito is all it takes to become infected!💥📢
Help protect your furbabies by making an appt with us for a heartworm test and to talk about prevention options! 🤗
And lastly, enjoy this short video of some heartworms in a tube under the microscope. If you look closely you can see them all wriggling around 😖

Have you ever wondered what an ear mite looks like? 😝🕷
This particular ear mite came from a cat, but they can also infect dogs and humans too.

🔹️Head shaking
🔹️Scratching at ears
🔹️Inflammation
🔹️Hair loss or irritation due to excessive scratching around the ears
🔹️Dark crusty or waxy discharge from the ear that looks like coffee grounds
🔹️Pus
