Has your Pug recently tested positive for heartworm disease? If so, please talk with your vet to learn about medications, treatments, and future prevention. You may also want to talk with your vet about other health concerns and illnesses that could arise because of your dog’s compromised health. For instance, heartworms have been known to develop a blockage of blood flow leading to cardiovascular collapse. This is referred to as Caval Syndrome. Signs of Caval Syndrome include the onset of labored breathing, pale gums, and bloody or coffee colored urine. Immediate surgery is required to remove the heartworm blockage. Heartworm disease is a dangerous and potentially fatal disease. The best way to prevent this disease is to have your Pug tested annually. Your Pug should also be on a monthly heartworm prevention program. More additional heartworm information regarding your Pug, consult with your veterinarian Las Vegas, NV.
