Heartworm protocols during COVID-19

In the midst of the COVID-19 crisis, veterinary clinics around the world are struggling to provide basic wellness checks for our pets in an effort to prevent the spread of the virus. The American Heartworm Society recently revamped protocols and drafted recommendations for how veterinarians can still assist in preventing and controlling heartworm infections in our beloved pets. For more information, or to read up on the new recommendations, check out the AHS wesbite!

We thought this was so brilliant that we had to share how "Frailty" was made from the creator:

"... it's a photograph I took of a plastinated horse heart from anatomy lab. Then I used a cartoon representation of the electrical current's course through the heart... I used a combination of photoshop brushes and layering techniques to make the heart look as if it is formed of smoke."
