Mosquitos And Dogs

[Toni]

I have been told to be carefull with mosquitos biting dogs causing blindness. I know that sandflies can infect dogs in quite big parts of the world (Leishmaniosis) but I have never heard something concerning mosquitos. Somebody knows more?? Thanks

I don't know about mosquitos causing blindness, but I do know they can cause heartworm. My dogs get their vaccination every two months. http://www.marvistavet.com/html/heartworm.html
