Other vets noted the growth of a more serious problem: heartworm-a mosquito-borne parasite that lodges in the heart, can reach a foot in length and blocks the oxygen supplied to the body. Eventually the dog tires after the slightest exertion. Several drugs are now available to prevent and treat this spreading canine disease...
