Willie is so excited that summer has officially arrived! Willie thought this would be a good time to share some important information with you regarding heartworm disease in cats, which is a problem in the summer months. Heartworms are parasites that are transmitted to cats when bitten by a mosquito carrying the disease. These parasites live in the heart and blood vessels in the lungs and can cause heart disease as well as respiratory disease over time. Currently, there are no safe treatments for cats with heartworm disease. Heartworm disease is easily prevented in cats by giving your cat monthly heartworm prevention. Willie suggests that all his FB friends discuss heartworm prevention optons for their feline family members with their regular veterinarian.
