Also nominated for the royal- ty was Rhoda Williams and Carol Lewerentz. your dog checked by Dr. Jim Brown ~ and Dr. Sue Emond Canine Heartworm disease is simply what it says. It is a disease of dogs due to worms living in the heart. The disease is transmitted to dogs by mosquitos. You may be unfamiliar with this disease, and this is because the mosquitos and heartworms have adapted to our cooler and seasonal climate, and have moved up from the south. For those of you taking your dogs into the southern States during our winter, the threat of heartworm is "year round, while in Ontario, May to October is the time of threat by mosquitos. Craft show at church Trinity United Church, Uxbridge, will host a Quilt and Craft Show, Thursday, May 23 from 2 to 9 p.m. Paula Lishman of Blackstock will display her knitted fur fashions including coats, hats, vests, scarves and leg- warmers. She produces the attractive items at her renovated Blackstock schoolhouse. Also featured at the show is a display of pain- ting on ceramics by Ux- bridge artist, Marcella Lukavsky. Mrs. Lukav- sky has developed her own style or painting on flat surfaces and colour- ing animals and birds. She recently won the award for best oils at the Oshawa Art Association Exhibition. There will also be silk- screening, pine fur: niture, Ukranian egg demonstration and other local crafts. Mosquito bites allow the tiny baby worms ac- cess to the dog's blood stream where they cir- culate in the blood and grow into adult worms which live in the heart of the dog. Adults may be up to fourteen inches long. This causes damage to the heart valves, means less room for blood - and makes the heart's job as pump for the rest of the body much harder. Major organs such as liver, kidney and lung may fail - in addi- tion to the risk of heart failure. Treatment of dogs infected with heart- worms is a costly and time consuming process. The pet is uncomfortable - with the process being similar - to chemotherapy. Veterinarians . can detect the tiny worms in a small blood sample. Early treatment can then begin. By far the best way to manage this disease is prevention. A daily dose of a drug given in a "'biscuit," that kills the infective stage of larvae, administered throughout the mosquito season can avoid this debilitating disease. It is very CRUCIAL that a dog be tested for heart- worms: and found negative, before preven- tative therapy is started. If a positive dog is started on the preven- tative treatment, dead worms could shower vital organs and cause severe, often fatal reac- NOW'S the time to have ra tions. The preventative drug will not cure heart- worm disease, other pesticides are required for different stages of the parasite's life. All dog owners are ad- vised to contact their local veterinarian for more information on Canine Heartworm Disease. The time to do you and your pet a big favour is NOW. Grass .
