Re: [Felvtalk] Feline Heartworm Article
I use Revolution and one good thing about it is that it is also the best product I have used for fleas on my cats. Now, I have not tried it on dogs and am not going to because my vet says his clients have had poor results with dogs but excellent with cats. I like it better than Advantage or Frontline. Now, I live in South Georgia and I am convinced our fleas are bionic. LOL Frontline and Advantage are an aphrodisiac to the fleas on my property.. :) Revolution would solve your heartworm and flea problem. --- On Fri, 4/17/09, James Rauscher jamesna...@yahoo.com wrote: From: James Rauscher jamesna...@yahoo.com Subject: [Felvtalk] Feline Heartworm Article To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Date: Friday, April 17, 2009, 11:39 AM Hi all, there is an article on feline heartworm in the June 2009 CatFancy magazine. It seems that wherever dogs can get heartworm, cats (including indoor cats, as someone here posted) can get it. The incidence is much higher in warmer states, but one of the vets quoted in the article says she believes it is spreading. Interesting article. It doesn't make me want to run out and get heartworm preventative for my cats, but it is something I will definitely discuss with my vet at our next visit.

Re: [Felvtalk] Feline Heartworm?
One of my cats got feline heartworm. This was five years ago. My cat is on Revolution all year now. The cat was ill for weeks. Heartworm is more difficult and less successful to treat than in dogs. My vet called a bunch of universities and got some kind of experimental cocktail that he had a local pharmacist put together. My cat pulled through. He was ill nearly 3 months and then seriously underweight for a year (but still felt good) and on the thin side for the next 4 years. He eventually gained a normal amount of weight. Due to the heroic efforts of my vet and a good bit of money, he pulled through. If you live in an area with lots of mosquitoes, you might want to seriously think abou this. --- On Thu, 4/9/09, Kerry MacKenzie kerrymacken...@ymail.com wrote: From: Kerry MacKenzie kerrymacken...@ymail.com Subject: [Felvtalk] Feline Heartworm?

Feline Heartworm Update: Dear Pet Owner, April 2009 A new study from Auburn University has indicated that heartworm disease in cats is a far bigger issue than previously thought. Cats can get heartworm infection through the simple bite of an infected mosquito. Studies have shown: Indoor cats are just as susceptible to infection when mosquitoes enter our home. Once bitten, immature heartworms are transmitted and the heartworm lifecycle begins. The larval worms then start their journey through the body, ultimately affecting the heart, blood vessels and lungs. A cat's body is designed to respond and kill foreign invaders, including heartworm larvae before they develop into adults. As the cat's body responds, the intense inflammatory reaction causes severe damage to the lung tissue. This disease state is clinically recognized as Heartworm Associated Respiratory Disease or H.A.R.D. Once this damage to the lung tissue occurs, it is not reversible and there is no treatment to remove the adult heartworms from a cat.

Re: [Felvtalk] Feline Heartworm?
Technically, if you live in an area in which dogs have to take HW prev meds, cats should be getting those too. Do you have any details on this cocktail your vet put together? There is no treatment approved yet though I know there are various schools trying to find something. I would be interested in knowing about one that seems to have worked...

I don't know what part of the country you live in, but have been using year round Revolution for years. We have mosquitos year round and one heartworm can kill a cat. There is also no cure once they get them.

Re: [Felvtalk] Feline Heartworm
Hi Kerry, One of my cats (FeLV-) was diagnosed with asthma about a year ago. The symptoms for asthma and heartworm are similar, I guess, but the vet was confident it was not heartworm (she did not test for that, but did a couple of tests for asthma), and Horus responded beautifully to Flovent, so we are sure it was not heartworm. The vet told us that it is more prevalent in the South and other warmer climates. I bought heartworm meds for my dog recently (while my cats were having their tests) and no recommendation was made for putting any of the cats on any heartworm preventative. I don't know where you live, but it seems that in the Northeast at least it is not as much of a concern for cats as it for dogs. If you live in a warmer climate or travel to warmer climates with your cat(s), then it may be a good idea. Hope this is helpful!

I bought heartworm meds for my dog recently (while my cats were having their tests) and no recommendation was made for putting any of the cats on any heartworm preventative. I don't know where you live, but it seems that in the Northeast at least it is not as much of a concern for cats as it for dogs. If you live in a warmer climate or travel to warmer climates with your cat(s), then it may be a good idea. Hope this is helpful!

Thanks Kelley! -Original Message- From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of Kelley Saveika Sent: Thursday, April 09, 2009 1:01 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Feline Heartworm? I don't know what part of the country you live in, but have been using year round Revolution for years. We have mosquitos year round and one heartworm can kill a cat. There is also no cure once they get them. I rather like Revolution, it helps with ear mites, roundworms, hookworms, fleas, etc. On Thu, Apr 9, 2009 at 11:41 AM, Kerry MacKenzie kerrymacken...@ymail.comwrote: Dear all, Just received this from my vet's clinic.

Re: [Felvtalk] Feline Heartworm
A friend in Iowa did have a cat who had heartworm more than 5 years ago. The vets did treat her and she is fine. Small but fine. I have had 4 cats with asthma. Flovent works wonders!

The symptoms for asthma and heartworm are similar, I guess, but the vet was confident it was not heartworm (she did not test for that, but did a couple of tests for asthma), and Horus responded beautifully to Flovent, so we are sure it was not heartworm. The vet told us that it is more prevalent in the South and other warmer climates. I bought heartworm meds for my dog recently (while my cats were having their tests) and no recommendation was made for putting any of the cats on any heartworm preventative. I don't know where you live, but it seems that in the Northeast at least it is not as much of a concern for cats as it for dogs.
