❤️ We love our feline friends, and want to keep them healthy and happy. Although cats are atypical hosts for heartworms, the consequences of infection can be severe. Heartworm-associated respiratory disease (HARD) can cause coughing, increased respiratory effort, and vomiting that resemble feline asthma.
Additionally, heartworms can cause blood clots, leading to sudden paralysis of one or both hindlimbs. Stay vigilant and protect your cat's health by taking preventative measures!
Providing year-round heartworm prevention is an important part of your pet’s health care plan. If you would like to discuss the various preventives, contact our team by calling (585) 546-1550, so we can determine what protocol would best fit you and your pet’s lifestyle.
