Dog Heartworm
One night, I was discussing the causes and effects of lung damage with my sister.
Her name is Dr. Paz Carlos. She has a Ph.D. in Comparative Pathology, which she obtained from UC Davis.
She is very familiar with the process of several diseases among mammals. It includes humans and even man’s best friend, dogs.
I find it very interesting when she tried to explain this to me. Even though we don’t see any symptoms, there are cases where the lung is already damaged.
Even though the disease-causing agent (in this case, Heartworm) has been removed, the damage is still there.
It may take a long time for the patient to fully recover.
There is even a possibility that the patient will not return to 100% health at all.
She continued to tell me that prevention is still the best way to go.
There are still diseases out there that are difficult to prevent.
