Heartworm disease is a highly dangerous condition that affects pets in Orlando. It can cause heart failure along with severe lung disease, damage to other parts of the body, and even death. Cats and dogs and ferrets are most commonly known to get sick with the disease. This is why it's important to keep your pets healthy.
In this post, our Orlando vets explain how ticks thrive, including which signs to beware of, and how to keep these external parasites away from your pets and your family.
Protecting your pets and family from intestinal parasites is best done by getting your pet a yearly fecal exam with your vet. An annual fecal exam gives your Orlando vet a chance to check for intestinal parasites before they cause problems.
Fleas are the most common external parasite, and they can be extremely bothersome to your pet! If the problem isn't taken care of, fleas can cause infections and serious diseases. Our Orlando veterinarians explain the early signs of fleas and what to do if your pet has fleas.
