Explain what happens in heartworm positive cats?
irreversible changes cause pulmonary hypertension (increased blood pressure in the vessels of the lungs), which means the heart must work harder to pump blood to the lungs for oxygen. Worms can also interfere with heart valves, further worsening the heart's workload and ultimately leading to heart failure. Adult heartworms have a more severe effect in cats than dogs, because cats’ blood vessels are so much smaller. Even one adult heartworm can cause fatal lung disease.
