Do vets have an obligation to test for heartworm on new customers dogs. I.e blood test
Before giving heartworm preventive.
My dog fell ill over the weekend and is in a bad way. X-rayed Sunday showed enlarged right heart and water on lungs. So 50/50 chance
Currently been given meds to help him and just trying to find info on this.
The dog is from north qld and I have just far south.
Unfortuanly I hadn't researched heartworm until now. Was giving the dog preventative but was two years old when I got him. Now his 6.5 years
