Initially, it’s tough to tell that anything is wrong with your pet at all. Heartworm is a slow onset disease, so months or even years may pass before the signs become obvious. When symptoms do appear, your canine companion could have a large heartworm burden. Worms interfere with the movement of the heart valves, creating turbulence in the blood flow, and causing the blood vessels that lead to the lungs to become “blocked” with worms. This puts the heart under immense strain, where it can become enlarged and exhausted.
Early signs could be shortness of breath, loss of stamina, or a nagging, dry cough. As the disease progresses, breathing becomes more difficult, and in severe cases the abdomen may swell with fluid. Your dog could become lethargic and lose weight and their appetite. These symptoms are often subtle and hard to detect, so prevention is the best option. Treatment for heartworm disease is not without potential risk, may be difficult, and if left untreated, it is nearly always fatal.

Usually, there are few clinical signs of heartworm in cats. Your cat could develop slight lethargy or a cough, but sudden death is more common if your cat’s heartworm has gone undetected and untreated. It only takes one to two adult heartworms infecting your furry feline for the disease to potentially become fatal.
In severe cases, the heart, liver and kidney will start to lose functional capacity, causing serious health problems.
