Heartworm disease is a serious medical condition in dogs and cats. Heartworm causes lung disease, severe heart failure, and damage to other organs in the body. Heartworm infection can cause several health problems and can also lead to early death. Therefore, heartworm prevention is highly crucial and cannot be ignored. Mosquitoes that carry infective heartworm larvae are the transmitters of heartworm disease. Generally, dogs and cats are majorly affected with heartworm disease, though heartworms can be found in other animals too, such as, wolves, coyotes, foxes, sea lions, and others. Heartworms spend their adult life in the right side of the heart and in the large blood vessels connecting the heart to the lungs. Species, such as, foxes and coyotes are considered the key carriers of heartworm disease as they live in close proximity to urban areas. Dogs are considered a natural host for heartworms. Dogs are usually treated with three injections for heartworms, doxycycline, melarsomine, and prednisone. Adult heartworms and their offspring (microfilaria) can obstruct the chambers of the heart and large blood vessels leading from the heart to the lungs and, when they die, they can cause pulmonary embolisms. Melarsomine injection reduces the chance of side-effects and kills the adult heartworms. It has been observed that heartworm disease in cats is different from that in dogs. Cats are a typical host for heartworms. In severe infections, the worms can block the large vein, causing blood to back up, and consequently damaging the liver. Symptoms of heartworm disease in dogs include weight loss, reluctance to exercise, fatigue after moderate activities, persistent mild cough, and decreased appetite. Unfortunately, most of the times, symptoms become recognizable only after the dogs are seriously infected. Detecting the disease at an early stage is highly crucial for successful treatment of the dog.
