Question by MrsJ S: What are some of the symptoms of heartworm in dogs?
I have read a lot of comments on the treatments and such, but would like to know some of the symptoms are. Also, if not opting for the treatment of them, which sounds pretty harsh for the dogs, what is the live expectancy of the canine?

Answer by W.
Coughing and bringing up liquids are some symptoms of heartworms. Symptoms get much worse and more complicated as the infestation gets heavier. Life expectancy depends on the infestation and the dog itself. It’s a HORRIBLE way for a dog to die. The treatment may be hard on the dog but its much better than letting the dog suffer a die because of heartworms. Not getting treatment is considered abuse.
