Heartgard (ivermectin)
Heartgard (Ivermectin) tablets are available for Cats and Dogs and are a monthly tablet used for the prevention of heartworm disease. However it is most commonly used for dogs. The active ingredient in Heartgard is Ivermectin and is exactly the same in each tablet and contains exactly the same amount of ingredient. The tablets are meat flavored and are readily accepted by dogs. For difficult dogs Heartgard (ivermectin) tablets can be dissolved in a small amount of water and mixed in the pet's food. Heartgard (ivermectin) tablets for dogs and cats are given once a month for the prevention of heartworm disease caused by the parasitic worm Dirofilaria Immitis in dogs. Heartgard (ivermectin) eliminates the heartworm larvae that infect your pet during the previous month. Heartworm is spread by infected mosquitoes. Heartworm is transmitted between animals by many species of mosquitoes. The transmission occurs when a mosquito takes a blood meal from an infected animal and then feeds on another animal. Heartworm infection can involve both dogs and cats, but the infection occurs differently in each species. Heartworm disease is very serious and can cause death. Treatment is very involved, complex and expensive; therefore prevention is preferable to the cure. Heartgard (Ivermectin) is used to control skin parasites, gastrointestinal parasites and parasites within the bloodstream. Heartgard (ivermectin) prevents development of heartworm disease in dogs and cats.
In dogs, the immature larval stage of the worm is deposited into the dog's skin by an infected mosquito. These larvae enter the dog's skin through the bite wound of the mosquito. Then in about 2 months, the juvenile worms migrate through the bloodstream to the right side of the heart. Heartworm disease in cats is different than in dogs on many levels. For instance, heartworms are smaller in cats than in dogs and it takes about one month longer for the larvae to develop into adults in the heart. Additionally, the lungs are the major organ affected in cats and it only takes a small number of worms to cause disease. According to the American Heartworm Society, the life span of the heartworm is shorter in cats than in dogs. Remember that the vector for heartworm disease, the mosquito, does not bite exclusively outside the house. Indoor-only cats are affected by this disease, as well.
