| HEARTWORM DISEASE SPREADING |
In 2004, more than a quarter of a million pets were
affected by a disease that is completely preventable.
Heartworm disease, spread by mosquitoes, is often
un-noticed by the pet owner because of the lack of
apparent symptoms. Untreated, this parasite can cause
exercise intolerance, coughing, damage to the main
blood vessels of the heart, liver failure and even death.
Pet owners can prevent this potentially fatal disease by
the use of economical monthly medications. The
continued high incidence of this problem has experts
looking at many biological factors and even at the shift
of our population to different areas of the country.
