An Interesting Article

There was an interesting article in this mornings newspaper on Heartworms. The article is titled "Heartworms resistant ot medications?" Appearently there has been a number of dogs in the Mississippi delta that have contracted heartworms while on monthly meds. Here is a link to the article.

That is a bit worrisome. Hopefully, it will prove to be unfounded.

I hope this isn't truly a resistance problem. I know with horses we've rotated deworming medications routinely to prevent resistance, which can occur. However, common equine parasitic worms have a different life cycle than canine heartworms.
