Hmmm, seems like she should of @ least tested kitty prior to giving him
Revolution.
I know w/ dogs, you NEVER give them a preventative treatment UNLESS they have
been tested, because it could kill them.
I am sorry, Sally, for poor little Tiny........

Hi Susan
Great link. I always thought that this is what Tiny died from. I did not have
a necropsy done. My poor cat was dead. I even asked a vet the summer before he
died if it was possible he has heartworm. She did not test and gave him a
Revolution treatment like that would take care of his existing problem. The
episode he had that made me take him in was similar to the episode he had when
he died. It was a severe spastic cough that literally caused him to fall over.
Only the second time it happened he turned blue and that was it. I miss my
Tiny. He wound up as one of my FeLV positive cats but never had the symptoms
that Junior did.
The mosquitoes have not been bad this year, but I live on a lake and there
have been years they were terrible. We have also had West Nile here in Va as
well.

Hi gang,
Funny, we were also discussing heartworms on another list today.
Here is a link that was sent to me, I have not reviewed it, so, let me know
what you think.
Susan - Found this website that seems to have loads of cat info on
heartworm. The video/animation is pretty cool.
