I know w/dogs, it's a series of 2 painful shots on either side of their heart,
and bedrest for 6 weeks afterwards.
Very important about the bedrest..........
When we received heartworm pos. dogs in the shelter where i worked, they didn't
want to treat them until they were in a home environment, because the kennel
stress was too much.
Or, we would try to find them a foster home for their treatment.

Hi,
The reason I suspected heartworm is because he had a transient cough most of
his short life. I knew cats could get heartworm and I always worried about
this. She mainly used the revolution because of his ear mites. I am always
battling these here. She may well be the vet that told me it might be time to
pts Junior. I am glad I did not listen. He is a fighter. I knew one tretment
would not do anything even if he had heart worms. This is the URI that I think
was the beginning of my FELV infection with my cats. It seems to have started
at this time.
