Heartworm is not something you can see or pick up like a "nightcrawler." Microscopic larvae are taken from the blood stream of one ani- mal and later injected into anoth- er by the bites of a mosquito. These larvae develop into adult worms in the heart and pul- monary artery. The damage and blockage caused by these worms can be severe, resulting in diffi- culty in breathing, liver and kid- ney disorders and even sudden death. If your dog will be travelling east or west with you, then now is the time to have your dog tested for heartworm. The tests can be conducted by any Vet in Thunder Bay. The test involves having a blood sample taken by your Vet and tested in the office to see if there are any signs of heartworm larvae. Never administer heartworm prevention medication without first having the test, this can cause the death of a dog affected with heartworm. The easiest way to prevent heartworm is to have your dog tested and then follow your Vet's instructions on preventative med- ication. "Filaribits" are a daily tablet, while "Heartguard" is a monthly tablet. Collies have been known to react to the heartworm medica- tion, so if you own a collie dis- cuss this problem with your Vet. Preventative Medication should begin in May and admin- istered until the end of October. Heartworm is not contagious towards humans and can only be contacted by a mosquito bite. At the moment your area is free from the heartworm larvae, but in the next few years we will probably start to see cases of dogs with the problem. Phone your Vet today and make your pet's appointment, it may mean saving his life.
