Cindy, it can be done with an Idexx Heartworm only snap test. That will give you the high or low information you are looking for. I work for white coats but don't agree with what they do. It is a job, but with my own pets they get the good natural things in life.
No clue, Cindy, but I'm not sure that's useful information anyway. I'd divide it this way: testing positive? Okay, so are there symptoms of heartworm or not? If yes, it's higher infestation, more disease present, and if no, there's either quite a low burden or the body is at least tolerating the worms well.
You'd obviously have a better prognosis in the latter group.
