He suffers
from dirofilariasis [heartworms], a disease caused by
parasitic worms that are
transmitted by mosquitoes.
The adult
worms migrate to the pulmonary arteries and eventually
infest the right
ventricle of the heart. It is merely a question of time
until the invaded worms
obstruct the pulmonary arteries and the veins returning to
the heart. However,
heartworm disease does not only affect the lungs and the
heart, but may also
interfere with the function of the liver and the kidneys.
Therefore,
we have initiated treatment with antibiotics and by
administering a specific agent
which has a filaricidal effect on pre-adult heartworms.
These therapies alone will
not be sufficient, though, and provision of an adulticide
treatment will be
required. Unfortunately, the necessary medicine lies beyond
our scope as it is
extremely expensive.
The treatment will eliminate the adult worms, but it may also provoke adverse side effects, hence a long and difficult path lies ahead of Mitache until he will have completely recovered.

In less
than a month, we will need a box of immiticide for starting
the treatment.
