Journal Title: TRADITION AND MODERNITY IN VETERINARY MEDICINE - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
In recent years, recorded cases of dirofilariasis in dogs have increased significantly in our country. The IDEXX 4Dx Snap test was positive for dirofilariasis. The operation was performed in a dog, male, mixed breed, 8 years of age, neutered. The worsened general condition of the animal, impaired cardiac activity, and elevated liver transaminases were a prerequisite for choosing the operative treatment of the animal. After access through v. jugularis from the heart were removed 9 adult forms of Dirofilaria immitis (5 females and 4 males). The postoperative period was without complications.
