when bitten by a  baries infected animal, or through
contamination of open wounds, a fresh abrasion,or scratch or the
eyes with  saliva containing the rabies virus.
Heartworm Disease
A blood test is required to  diagnose heartworm disease in your dog.
Symptoms of  heartworm disease  include  coughing,
weakness and heart failure. This  disease is caused
by  a six-to twelve inch worm that lives in the right side
of the heart. The disease, transmitted from dog
to dog by mosquitos, is becoming a serious problem in
the  U.S.  Our area is experiencing an increase in cases.
We recommend yearly check  for  heart worms.
