Something’s wriggling in this dog’s blood sample! 🔬🩸 Meet “microfilariae,” the larvae of the dreaded female heartworm. After roughly 6-7 months, these larvae will mature into adult heartworms, grow up to 14 inches long (😳), and reproduce more offspring. Left untreated, this dog could end up with hundreds of them in his body causing long-term damage to the lungs, heart, and arteries and even sudden death. Since it was caught, he will undergo treatment which involves several months of medicatio

Microfilariae are heartworm larvae. Dogs (and cats) become infected for heartworms by a mosquito bite containing microfilariae, that grow into adult heartworms. When an animal tests positive for heartworms with a snap test, a vet will take a blood sample to confirm they see microfilariae under the microscope. That squiggly moving hair like thing is the microfilariae they are looking for to confirm the positive test result. The snap test itself is actually testing for the presence of heartworm an

What you are seeing is microfilaria - the larval stage of heartworm. This was found after getting a positive heartworm test result on one of our patients today. We did a blood drop test to confirm. We are seeing more and more heartworm positive cases here in the Pinery and want to protect our patients. This shows why it is so important to keep your pet on Heartworm Prevention year round. It is spread by a mosquito - your pet doesn't need to be around other dogs or cats to get it. Once the outdoo

Microfilariae, the infective larvae stage of the heartworm, are visible under the microscope in a sample of Lillian’s blood. Microfilariae are transmitted from infected dog to mosquito upon feeding then from mosquito to uninfected dog. Once microfilariae enter a dog, they move towards the heart and its surrounding blood vessels. Six months later, the fully mature heartworms mate and reproduce more microfilariae, continuing the cycle of infection and transmission. This life-threatening infection

Diagnosis of the week: Who can name this common problem dogs suffer from here in NC. ANSWer: microfilaria- the larvae form of heartworm that can be seen circulating in the blood! Remember, you normally dont see the adult worms because they live in the pulmonary (lung) vasculature and work their way into the heart which is how the dog dies normally- thus the name Heartworm. Hint** This is why we recommend year round prevention and annual testing- ask about all the different options we have! | Sta
