As for heartworms...i only thort that was an american thing in dogs i always watch the animal cops houston...and phenix....misconsin ect...lots of the ill treated dogs seem to come in wiv that condition and it can be very fatal if left untreated or even halfway thro the stages....terrible thing for a dog to ave and scary that its ova here
