Question by pow chicka wow wow!: what are some signs and symptoms of heartworms in dogs?
and how can they get them?
Best answer:
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.
Question by King Creole: Do all these symptoms fit with Whipworms in my dog?
Ok so ive been worrying about my new 3 year old australian cattle dog that i got from the animal shelter because hes been pretty sick, throwing up, hasn’t eaten hardly anything at all in 3 days, diarrhea with small amount of blood, and really lethargic. Finally convinced my parents to pay to take him to the vet, i had a parvo test and fecal exam done, luckily the parvo that ive been dreading the most came back negative. however he tested positive for a good deal of whipworms in his system, i was given 3 different types of medication for deworming and for his diarrhea, they are… Drontal Plus, Amforal, and Metronidazole. I was really relieved to hear it wasn’t parvo as the vet even said that another dog that came from the shelter he treated tested positive with it. Anyway, unfortunately all this ran about 175 bucks, and we were not able to get a blood test because my parents are having money trouble right now, my question is would a bad case of whip worms cause all these symptoms , or should i have reason to believe their may be more wrong?
DeadGame, i dont know what you mean by scatter shot, i never said he had a blood test, he didnt, just fecal and parvo test
Best answer:
Answer by KoAussie A heavy infestation of parasites would cause all of the above symptoms.
The Drontal Plus will treat the whips as well as other worm types .
The Metronidazole is for treating giardia
The Amforal is used to treat enteritis.
