The treatment of dogs with heartworm disease emphasizes on killing
both the offspring and adult worms with microfilaricide and adulticide
respectively. Other objectives include reduction of side effects from
the application of these medications and complications arising from the
dead heartworms.

Studies show that dogs with or without mild symptoms recover from
this disease after being treated with these medications. However, some
dogs, which are seriously infected, may die after treatment.
