I know there's recently been a thread about putting cats on heartworm preventative.... well I just got back from the vet (dog's annual check up - plus a bit of catch-up time with our favorite vet, Dr. Kathy
) and they actually had a poster that said "A new breakthrough study shows that cats are suffering lung damage due to feline heartworm disease. Is your cat at risk?" I was quite happy to see that "they" are finally recognizing that feline heartworm IS an issue and pet owners do need to be informed and then allowed to make their own decison
