In today's
VETgirl online veterinary CE
podcast, we interview
Andrew Moorhead, DVM, MS, PhD, DACVM (Parasitology), Associate Professor in Parasitology at the University of Georgia, Director and Primary Investigator of the Filariasis Research Reagent Resource Center and
American Heartworm Society (AHS) Board of Directors along with
Marisa Ames, DVM, ACVIM (Cardiology), Associate Professor in Cardiology at UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine and AHS Board of Directors on how to treat the heartworm-positive dog. Every veterinary practitioner understands the importance of treating heartworm-positive dogs. However, questions about heartworm treatment are common. Based on the latest research and information, the American Heartworm Society recently updated its
guidelines on heartworm treatment. In this podcast, Dr. Moorhead and Dr. Ames update us on the optimal components and timing of heartworm treatment in dogs. We’ll also learn from them what’s changed—and what hasn’t—and what it means for you, your clients, and your patients. Finally, we’ll discuss the pros and cons of treatment options when time and resources are limited.
