jimmy1982 153 Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 How can you tell if your dogs got lung worm can you take it to the vets and have a test done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
willum 89 Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Don't know about test but if worried get your self some milbemax wormers broad spectrum wormers. Should do the trick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy1982 153 Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Dogs are already on them fella had them on since pups. But one of the pups i bought was kept down on a lads plot down his allotment. So the risk is high. Just that when I'm out on my bike late afternoon doing some road work the dog has no energy which I'm other pup could go all day she pulling infront of the bike and hes lagging behind. Might just be a lazy c**t till hes behind sumat lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
willum 89 Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 dont know then buh if in doubt get him checked could be a number of things the tabs kill all types of worms so he shouldn't have anything now so to speak. Could be not absorbing his food efficiently enough diet ageof dog or just fecking lazy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arcticgun 4,548 Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Could it be that its far too warm at the present time to be conditioning anything nevervmind a young pup? 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skycat 6,173 Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 How long have you had the dog? (Could be that the dog, a pup you say, is shy, timid, unsure of itself, not used to biking, not fed properly before you got him, unsocialised etc etc. How old is he? Male pups take a lot longer to mature than bitches. You say he was kept on an allotment: in a shed? How much exercise was the dog getting then? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jade 1 7 Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 one of the main sighns is the dog looks realy depressed.the sat part of lung worm is by the time the vets find out its to late .my son lost a lovely young cocker last year through this it traveld to the brian.so use advacot or millbramax or panacure sos for spelling Quote Link to post Share on other sites

spookster1 24 Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 To answer the question. Poo sample tested, think need three neg results to confirm not lung worm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
low plains drifter 10,382 Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Try getting off your bike and running with the pups see how you feel, it's far too easy to sit on your chuff clocking up the miles,it's too humid to breathe never mind give a pup roadwork 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
