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.

Question by cassie_m18661: what are some home remedies for tapeworms in dogs as i dont have any cash for a vet?

Best answer:

Answer by melissa k
Tapeworms can only be taken care of with medication. Talk to the vet about a payment plan, or see if your local shelter offers a program.

Tapeworms are caused by fleas, so that needs to be addressed, too.

Answer by Bonzie12
Symptoms of heartworm are the result of the maturing heartworm larvae and adult heartworms in the heart. The presence of the heartworm in the heart results in irritation of the heart and blood vessel walls causing thickening and blockage of blood flow. Sometimes heartworms can lodge in the liver blood vessels and result in liver failure. Heartworm symptoms in the dog can take years to show up. It usually starts of as a mild cough which most owners dismiss as unimportant but then gradually worsens to include symptoms like fatigue, more severe coughing and breathing difficulties. If left untreated, it will result in the eventual death of the animal. The more heartworms there are in the system the more severe the heartworm symptoms are. If the liver is involved, then other symptoms will include jaundice, loss of appetite and collapse.
