Heartworm in Felines is rare.
Dogs are also tested for microfilaria to confirm a heartworm diagnosis. Microfilariae are the offspring of adult heartworms born inside a dog's body.
The test is useless for cats for a few different reasons: there are too few adult worms to produce offspring, or all the adults are the same sex (this is common in feline heartworm infections), or the immune system kills off the microfilariae very quickly. So there's nothing to be gained by doing microfilaria tests on cats. Tests for the presence of heartworm antibodies are only partially helpful in cats. A positive test can mean a number of things. There could be a mature infection. There could be an immature worm present. Or there could be a past infection that is being cleared.
Tips for Prevention
How can you reduce the risk of a rare heartworm infection in your own kitty?
• First, keep his immune system strong and healthy.
• Parasitic infections are less likely in strong, resilient animals. Use the ParaExpel formula. (order code AN049)
• Don't allow your kitty to be over-vaccinated or overmedicated.
Cats, as mentioned earlier, are not the natural hosts of heartworms -- dogs are.
