JONESBORO, Ark. (KAIT) - If you are a pet owner, you may want to consider paying close attention to how your pet responds to heartworm treatments, an area veterinarian said.
Heartworms are a parasite that can invade a dog or cat’s heart which attracts mosquitoes—who pass the larvae along to other pets.
Resistance in heartworm treatments is often found in pets that live near the Mississippi Delta or other large bodies of water.
