This is something that all pet owners should know about and be well informed of as well. That way they can go about treating their dog or cat the way that they need specifically. Information like this is the kind of things are really important for pet owners to know.<br /> <a href="http://oakhillsanimal.com/" rel="nofollow">http://oakhillsanimal.com/</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14533866094573318845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-575681156085759210.post-64414218982814494772015-07-14T11:39:37.639-07:002015-07-14T11:39:37.639-07:00I was very surprised to learn that it is so diffic...I was very surprised to learn that it is so difficult to detect heartworms in cats. I own a cat, and it would be terrible if Bootsy were to have heartworm parasites. You said that they are preventable with year-round medication, so I better go to an animal hospital and get some for my cat.<br /><br />Susan Hirst | <a href="http://westlakeanimalhospitalinc.net/" rel="nofollow"> http://westlakeanimalhospitalinc.net/</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834349959411866179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-575681156085759210.post-871468269939534052015-06-16T10:40:38.050-07:002015-06-16T10:40:38.050-07:00I didn't realize that heart worms were differe...I didn't realize that heart worms were different in dogs and cats. I just got a cat and I figured we'd just take the same preventive measures that we did with my dogs. It sounds like it's much more serious in cats and the signs show up a lot quicker. We'll have to find a good vet to take the cat to regularly to have him checked for heart worm. <a href="http://www.smallcreaturespetclinic.ca/en/what_we_do.html" rel="nofollow"> http://www.smallcreaturespetclinic.ca/en/what_we_do.html</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06500700087368270847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-575681156085759210.post-53029435960189379192015-06-09T11:51:22.832-07:002015-06-09T11:51:22.832-07:00Heartworms sound very unpleasant.

Having a pet is a big responsibility, so I want to be sure that Chuckles, the dog, is well taken care of. I'll have to schedule an appointment for him at an animal clinic to have him tested for heartworms.<br /><br />Susan Hirst | <a href="http://www.colorado-vet.com/about.html" rel="nofollow"> http://www.colorado-vet.com/about.html</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834349959411866179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-575681156085759210.post-62026576753540983102015-05-26T15:29:47.179-07:002015-05-26T15:29:47.179-07:00I didn't know that heartworms are different in...I didn't know that heartworms are different in cats and dogs. It's important to keep up on your dog's health. They will need more care when it comes to heartworms. It's definitely good to know that cat's immune systems are able to kill most immature worms, like you mentioned.
