Lymph nodes are also known as lymph glands, or just glands, and form part of the lymphatic system. They are tiny, bean-shaped clusters of cells found in groups or chains throughout the body. Lymph nodes are the most important component of the immune system and within these glands, lymphocytes (immune cells) exist. Glands consist of lymphatic tissue surrounded by a capsule of connective tissue and are located in the armpits, on either side of the neck, inside the chest, abdomen, pelvis and in the groin.
10 month puppy with heartworm. Species: Dog. Breed: Unknown; Terrier mix. Age: 6-12 months. I am considering adopting a 10 month old puppy from the SPCA and was told he was low positive for heartworm.
Assuming you are giving your dog a heartworm preventative, you should have your pooch checked once a year. It's a simple blood test. If you aren't giving a preventative, you should have the doggie tested, and then start medicating!Good luck. Source(s): Based on owning dogs for over 30 years and the guidance of my vet.o get her tested again, if no heartworms, start her on the preventative heartgard plus, it only cost 25 dollars for a six month supply, very well worth it, that is what it cost here, shouldn't be much of a difference, if it is call 1-800-pet-meds, they are reasonable on their prices. â¥Just_Meâ¥ Â· 9 years ago.
