HEARTWORM DISEASE
IN DOGS
With winter safely behind
us, we all look forward to the
warmth and sunshine of the
summer months ahead. The
summer, however, is not
without its annoyances, not
the least of which is tolerat-
ing the pesky mosquito. This
irritating little pest is unfor-
tunately the main source of
the increasing heartworm
disease problem. Although it
has been found in other ani-
mals, the disease is common
only to dogs. It may be a
significant threat to people.
Heartworm disease is re-
latively new to Canada al-
though it has been very
serious in the United States
for a great many years. It
slowly spread west and north
across the border so that we
now diagnose the disease in
dogs that have never been to
the States. Last year about
500 cases were diagnosed —
this may riot seem like a
great number — but it is
alarming since only a few
years ago there were none!
Heartworms are indeed
worms — sometimes over
six inches in length. Unlike
other worms, these are found
in the bloodstream, invading
a pet's heart chambers and
lungs causing fatal disease if
left untreated. Clinical signs
show severe damage to .these
organs and symptoms are:
coughing, wheezing or ex-
treme fatigue. Don't wait for
signs to develop because by
then it is generally -too late to -
.
o. reverse the damage.
An infected dog cannot
transmit heartworm disease
directly to another, but with
the adverse "help' of a mos-
quito, many dogs innthe area
can become infected. The
immature heartworm
(microfilaria) is ingested by
the mosquito while it feasts
on the exposed skin of an in-
fected dog. The micro-
filariae then go through
various maturing stages, re-
maining still extremely
small.
They are injected into
other dogs when that same
mosquito feeds again. Once
inside the bloodstream of the
new dogs, the worm develops
to its full size, invades the
heart and begins to produce.
its own microfilaria. Its life
cycle is now complete.
Your veterinarian can
usually detect an infected
dog by finding these micro-
filaria in a blood sample. If
found, treatment can be
started, however. it involves
the use of toxic drugs (ar-
senicals) and is .not without
its risks, particularly in a
very ill patient. The answer
lies in prevention of the
disease before it gains a foot-
hold in your local area. Pre-
vention is very easily ac-
complished by giving daily
medication in the food. Since
medication is not always
warranted, you should dis-
cuss heartworrn disease with
your veterinarian and ask
what he recommends con-
sidering the prevalence of
the disease in your area.
This advice has been
brought to you by the Ontario
Veterinary Association.
