ANIMAL HOSPITAL WINDSOR - HEARTWORM TESTING

WHY DO I NEED HEARTWORM TESTING? At early stage you may not notice any visible symptoms. Without testing you will not know that your pet was already infected with heartworm until disease has progressed significantly causing serious damage to heart and lungs. Symptoms are only seen when disease is at advanced stage. At early stage of infection, only blood test can detect if pet was already infected with heartworm. Even if your pets is indoor still they can come in contact with mosquito when going outside only for a short period of time. In addition mosquito can easily slip inside your house or basements through small cracks, during opening of doors, windows or screens.
