HEARTWORM DISEASE
Cats get heartworms too!!!! All outdoor cats should be protected from heartworm disease.
HOW DO CATS GET HEARTWORM DISEASE?
Cats get heartworm disease in the same way that dogs do. MOSQUITOES transmit the disease by biting an already infected animal, and then pass the infection on to other animals they bite.
SIGNS OF HEARTWORM DISEASE ARE NOT USUALLY SEEN UNTIL VERY LATE IN THE DISEASE PROCESS:
Coughing, breathing difficulties, vomiting, and weight loss may be observed.
THERE IS NO GOOD SOLUTION ONCE THE CAT IS INFECTED WITH HEARTWORMS:
Aggressive treatment of the infection has a high chance of serious complications, including death! Without treatment, the risks of lung damage and death remain. We treat infected cats with long-term preventatives to decrease the number of worms and minimize symptoms.
PREVENTION IS AVAILABLE:
A preventive, HEARTGARDTM for Cats, is available as meat-based chewable tablets. It may be given whole by hand, in pieces, or mixed in food. Each dose gives your cat a full month of protection and gives you peace of mind that your kitty is protected. The medication can be given all year long.
