In today's
VETgirl online veterinary CE
podcast, we discuss heartworm disease in cats. It is generally understood that heartworm disease in cats is underdiagnosed—in part because many veterinarians do not routinely test cats for heartworms and also because feline heartworm testing itself is less straightforward than testing in dogs. To help sort this out, we’re joined today by Dr.
Lindsay Starkey, DVM, PhD, DACVM, a veterinary parasitologist and an assistant professor on the faculty of Auburn University. Dr. Starkey also serves on the
board of directors for the American Heartworm Society.
