it takes about 6 months for the test they use to show positive...more than likely if it has them it is in Stage I at this point. hogaholicswife is correct in the lifespan of an adult Heartworm is about 2 years...however the adult worms can do damage in that time. Keep the microfilaria and larva to a minimum with a .10cc per 10# of dog weight and it may come out just fine. Stage II or III more than likely would need treatment and that is the going rate in these parts too. The traetment can be hard on them.. 1/2 cc or ml would be a dose for a 50# dog...
