Enfermedad del gusano del corazón en #gatos ❤️‍🩹🪱🐱

Are you familiar with heartworm disease in cats? Dio filariasis, as it's called, is caused by a larva transmitted by mosquitoes. Although it's more common in dogs, our cats can also get it and many people don't know it. Just one worm can affect their heart and lungs. The tricky part is that the symptoms are very subtle. Many times it's just tiredness and a bit of a cough, so it can be mistaken for other things. That's why when you notice any symptoms, the most important thing is to act quickly. And the good news is that it can be prevented with proper deworming. That way your feline companion will always be protected. But I don't have time to tell you everything in one reel, so you have a very, very complete video on our YouTube channel, Happy Pets and Families about this and other parasites that our cats can have and how to prevent them. Hurry up. Stop by and take a look.
