It doesn't kill immediately a dog gets infested, it takes time and has to breed before it debilitates the dog. He's lung worm can be a killer but with monitoring you can treat and kill the worms just as you can any other but you need to monitor in order to catch it early enough and worm counts are recommended six monthly, for that reason. I refuse to be panicked into covering my dogs with toxins for the 'just in case' scenarios - what good can that actually do to a dog that doesn't even have the parasite? Worm count and if positive to lung worm THEN treat for them is my take and as yet I've never had to.

In case it can be passed in slime I have never left food bowls, toys or bones in the garden but my guys are raw fed straight from the grass, so if it were easily spread in slime surely at least one of them would come into contact with it, since you can clearly see the trails at night on the grass.įor fleas, ticks, harvest mites, mange etc I use CSJ's Skinny Dog essential oil spray, plus Indorex house spray two or three times a year. My dogs have never eaten them, in fact I don't think any dog I've ever had has but I do know I've never had lung worm in the dogs despite having plenty of slugs in my garden. Seems the worm eggs are in the slugs/snail from what the article says.
An article in Dogs Today October edition says a dog only has to EAT a small infected slug/snail to pick up lungworm, so its not as easily picked up in the slimy trail they leave behind as some may think. I use Drontal for round and tapeworm and have a worm count done on the dogs twice a year looking for lung worm - so far all are clear, my dogs being nine, eight, five and two. I hate they way vets insist on poisoning a dogs system monthly with this strong chemical.
