Town & Animal Hospital Country offers the best in terms of prevention, diagnosis, and cure of limitless medical issues in cats.
One of the most important things when caring for your loved cat is to ensure that they are living a life without the complication of feline medical conditions. A potentially fatal condition caused by heartworms living in the organs of cats like lungs, heart and blood vessels causing extreme complications including organ failure and lung diseases. The treatment of Heartworm disease varies from species to species.
Heartworm disease can be difficult to detect in cats because even a small number of worms may cause serious lung and respiratory problems. Diagnosis may involve blood tests, chest X-rays, ultrasound, and a review of your cat’s symptoms. Since there is no approved medication that safely eliminates adult heartworms in cats, treatment focuses on supportive care and monitoring. Regular heartworm prevention recommended by your veterinarian is the best way to protect your cat from this potentially serious disease.
