April is Heartworm Awareness Month
Heartworm is a preventable, but serious and potentially fatal, parasite that primarily infects dogs, cats and ferrets. Heartworms can only be transmitted from animal to animal by mosquitoes.
When a mosquito bites an infected animal, young heartworms called microfilariae enter into that mosquito's system. In two weeks, the microfilariae develop into infective larvae inside the mosquito; these infective larvae can be transmitted to another animal when this mosquito takes its next blood meal. Unlike dogs, infected cats do not often have microfilariae circulating in their blood, and an infected cat is not likely to transfer the heartworm infection to another mosquito.
Experts recommend that all dogs be tested annually for heartworm infection. Testing of cats is recommended before placing them on heartworm preventive, and afterward per your veterinarian's advice. This includes pets that never go outside, or only go outside occasionally. Heartworm infection is almost 100% preventable in dogs and cats. There are several FDA-approved heartworm preventives available in a variety of formulations. Of course, you have to remember to give your pet the preventive in order for it to work! The American Heartworm Society recommends testing pets every 12 months for heartworm and giving your pet a heartworm preventive 12 months a year. - American Heartworm Society
