American Heartworm Society Announces Updated Guidelines on Management of Feline Heartworm Disease

Holly Springs, NC—Persistent underdiagnosis and undermanagement of heartworm disease in cats, along with more robust data on prevention, testing and treatment, recently led the American Heartworm Society (AHS) to update their Feline Heartworm Guidelines for veterinarians. The update, completed after a thorough scientific review by experts from the fields of parasitology, cardiology, and clinical practice, includes updated advice on heartworm screening, mosquito control and treatment options for heartworm-positive cats. The guidelines can be found on the AHS website at heartwormsociety.org/guidelines.
