The objective of this paper is to describe two cases of heartworm disease in dogspresented with ascites and dyspnea. A diagnosis of mixed infection with both Dirofilariaimmitis (D. immitis) and Dirofilaria repens (D. repens) was established in the first case, whileD. immitis was detected in the other dog. Based on clinical, parasitological, laboratoryand radiographic examinations, the diagnosis of severe stage heartworm disease(HWD) was established because both dogs were in heart failure due to HWD. Analternative therapeutic protocol with combined doxycycline and ivermectin was usedas an antiparasitic treatment in both cases. No microfilariae were detected after 30 and60 days, and no antigen to D. immitis was detected after 8 and 12 months in the first andsecond case, respectively. Based on the clinical examinations and parasitological testingperformed, the two dogs were considered cured of HWD by this alternative therapy.

Repens）的混合感染的诊断。在其他狗中检测到Immitis。基于临床，寄生虫学，实验室和放射线摄影检查，建立了严重阶段心源病（HWD）的诊断，因为两只狗因HWD而陷入心力衰竭。含有联合毒素和Ivermectin的分析治疗方案在两种情况下使用了抗缺氧治疗。在30℃和60天后没有检测到MicroFilariae，并且在第一个和分解案件中没有检测到D. D. D.Imitis的抗原。基于临床检查和寄生学经验性，通过这种替代治疗，两只犬被认为是HWD的治愈。
