Dori, yes I found the same thing, most sites heartworm sites discuss x-rays, ultrasound and even urinalysis, to determine extent. Thats why I couldn’t understand my vet not recomending them and had to call him back on those things. He can’t possibly judge with any certainty just by listening to heart and lungs, and his being asymptomatic. I thought that at the very least x-rays and bloodwork were essential in determining stage. And that’s why I worry that there could be more than it first appears.
