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 are heartworm larvae. Dogs (and cats) become infected for heartworms by a mosquito bite containing microfilariae, that grow into adult heartworms.

Pennridge Animal Hospital on Instagram: "PSA - take a quick look at what we’re seeing under the microscope! 👀 Those tiny moving strands are microfilaria, the immature stage of heartworms circulating in the bloodstream. Heartworm disease is spread by mosquitoes. When a mosquito bites an infected dog, it can pick up microfilaria and pass heartworm infection to another dog with its next bite. It is NOT spread through direct contact, sharing bowls, or being around other dogs. This is exactly why mo
