YOU AND YOUR PET Dear Dr. Wise: We are firsttime dog owners and are a little uncertain of all the things we should be doing for our little cocker. The veterinarian gave Goober vaccinations and checked him over in December. A friend said Goober also needs a heartworm test and medicine. Is this true? Answer: Your friend gave you good advice — and timely. Now is the time to have Goober tested and started on a prevention program. Heartworms are transmitted by mosquitos and you want to protect your dog by the time the weather warms and the mosquitoes hatch. The heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis) is a common cause of heart disease in dogs and can be fatal if untreated. Once a carrier mosquito infects a dog, the heartworms larvae make their way to the animal’s heart and pulmonary arteries. There they mature and grow up to 14 inches long. The adult worms produce microfilaria (new worms) which circulate in the bloodstream. Mosquitos pick up these microfilaria during a blood meal. They mature into larvae and are passed on to another dog where a new cycle begins. Heartworms can cause severe damage to the heart, lungs and other organs. Owners usually are unaware that their dog is infected until the disease is well advanced. Then the animal may show such signs as fatigue, chronic cough and loss of appetite. At this stage treatment is risky and expensive. As your neighbor recommended, prevention is the best medicine. Goober first should have a simple blood test to make sure he is free of heartworms. If he is you can begin giving him the preventive medicine. You have a choice. One medicine is administered daily and the other monthly. Diethylcarbamazine kills the heartworm larvae during a brief period as they molt from the third to fourth stage larvae. They stay in the bloodstream only 24 hours, so medicine must be given daily. Ivermectin kills the fourth stage larvae which survive a little over 30 days. Therefore a monthly dose of this medicine will effectively destroy all the worms in the fourth stage. The medicines are equally safe and effective. Some owners use a chewable version of the daily pill as a treat for their dogs. Other owners prefere the convenience of giving a pill only once a month. Your veterinarian can help you decide which you should give to Goober. If you have a question about your pet, write to Dr. Wise, Indiana Veterinary Medical Association, 3802 Springfield Overlook, Indianapolis, IN 46234.
