Heartworms are transmitted by mosquitoes. We have a had a very mild winter and mosquitoes are here! Read below to learn more about heartworms and how to prevent them!
The period of time when heartworms are reproductively capable is referred to as patency. In cats, it takes seven to eight months before adult worms potentially reach patency in the pulmonary vessels, and this is referred to as transient patency, as reproductive capability in the cat is usually very short (months) compared to that of dogs (years). In most cases the cat is not an effective reservoir host, since microfilaria are produced in less than 20% of the cats.
In the cat, the larvae molt as well, but fewer worms survive to adulthood. While dogs may suffer from severe heart and lung damage from heartworm infection, cats typically exhibit minimal changes in the heart. The cat's primary response to the presence of heartworms occurs in the lungs.
Misconceptions
There are several misconceptions about heartworm disease and heartworm medications. All it takes is one bite by the wrong mosquito, so indoor dogs are also at risk. Long haired dogs are protected to a degree by their fur, but can still be bitten on the face or inner thighs. Some people think that feeding a natural diet or using herbal mosquito repellents will protect their dog, but no studies support this theory. Heartworm medications are extremely low risk compared to the danger of heartworm disease. Even if a dog is on the monthly pills year around, an annual blood test is advisable. All it takes is for the dog to surreptitiously throw up a heartworm dose, and they're unprotected.
