Heartworms in a chihuahua!- There is a picture of heart worms in the right pulmonary artery of the heart on the echocardiogram image. There is a video of the heart worm microfilaria swimming around in the blood under a microscope. There is also a stained prep of a blood smear that shows the heart worm microfilaria in more detail....Please put your pets on preventative. It's much easier and wayyyyy cheaper to prevent heart worms than it is to treat it. Even if your pet stays inside most of the time, there is no such thing as an outdoor only mosquito.
