Question by ? psychotic: If a dog’s heart worm test goes positive quickly, does it have worse heart worms than a test that takes time?
Just asking, for I was in there with my dog when the test turned. The doctor said the test turned very quickly. Thank you sooo much! ^-^

No. How quickly the “positive” dot turns blue is no indication of the severity of the disease. Good luck in yours and your dog’s journey to recovery — it will be long, expensive, and painful, but well worth it if he recovers.
