Q&A: If a dog’s heart worm test goes positive quickly, does it have worse heart worms than a test that takes time?

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! ^-^

Answer by BunnuvaSitch
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.

Is it necessary to get a heart worm test for your dog every year if he has been getting his pill every month?

Alan — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 14:09:26 +0000

Question by kathy_is_a_nurse: Is it necessary to get a heart worm test for your dog every year if he has been getting his pill every month?
I got a notice from the vet. I assume they will do the heart worm test, which will cost money, and then sell us the heartworm medicine at a mark-up. I know I can get the same medicine at a discount elsewhere. I don’t mind taking him in for the test, if it is necessary, but is it? He’s never missed a dose since we had him tested originally, so could he still get heart worms?

Answer by torbaynewfs
Check with your vet. I test every three years, OK’d by my vet since I keep the dogs on the medication year round. SOme will do testing ever other year, some will still make you test yearly. IF that is the case, you might want to switch to a more progressive vet. I see no need for testing yearly if you are careful with the prevention.

my dog getting his heart worm test soon and i’m worried!

Alan — Thu, 13 May 2010 06:25:43 +0000

My dog is going to be tested for heart worm’s next sunday and I’m worried that if he is tested positive then my mom wont be able to pay for the treatment’s, since she can barely pay her bill’s! If he is tested positive should we put him down? and if he is not positive how much will the med’s be each month. (My mom would be able to pay the med’s every month but not the treatment if he has heart worm’s). I know i should not be worrying right now but i care about my dog! If he does have heart worm’s i’ll try very hard to get my mom to help him. i will also would do my best to save up some money. (DONT BRING UP NONE OF THAT B.S OF HOW I’M HEARTLESS, CAUSE I’M ONLY KID! I CAN’T DO MUCH BUT BEG AND CRY) P.s. my dog is 2 year’s old. ( but i’m sure my mom would pay for the treatment if he is positive, i’m just really worried!
