I posted this here because I can't embed a video in the health section, not sure if I'm the only one who would find this disturbing, gross, and fascinating.

Mods, feel free to move this to another section is this is not okay. Thanks!

WOW, very fasinating, but also very gross. Thank God I am not squeamish. Thats alot of freaking worms in that poor dog, and they are massive. Yesh!

Im so thankful we don't have heart worms here.

I got to 1:07 before I got too queasy and had to turn it off. Poor puppy
I wish I could watch the whole thing!

I'm not watching it, not at work. LOL. I'm grossed out by the thought, but I'm also curious, so I'll have to watch it at home.

Glad I just gave her Keeva her Heartgard yesterday. *gag*

That is so gross, but so very awesome. I've never seen anything like that.

That poor dog! I could not believe how many were in there! They just kept coming and coming! Really fascinating, but so very ewwwww.

So cool! But also sad, for $4 they could've prevented it.

 

[CharlieDog]

Oh my God. Fascinating but holy cow I can't watch anymore.

 

[Gypsydals]

I made it to 3 minutes before I had to stop. Poor guy totally preventable.

 

[Lyzelle]

It isn't always preventable. There were plenty of dogs in my old area that ended up with heartworms while on Heartgard and other medications.

Thanks for sharing the video. It's sad, but neat.
