Parasite

[MOLE265 792]

A lethal parasite that can kill dogs has been found in several locations across Wales.

 

Hundreds of cases of lungworm have been reported by concerned vets and dog owners, according to an interactive map created by the Act Against Lungworm campaign.

 

 

The disease, which can be carried by slugs and snails, is a parasite that can pose serious health risks to dogs and can result in death if it is not diagnosed and properly treated.

 

According to the map 180 cases of the parasite have been reported within around 50 miles of Cardiff.

 

A total of 120 cases were found within the same distance of Swansea, with 177 found within around 50 miles of Newport.

 

A total of 16 cases were reported within around 50 miles of Bangor.

When I seen the title of this topic I thought it was another "Booth" thread.

 

 

 

I've had a 4 month old pup die from Lungworm around 10 years ago and it wasn't nice and the vet didn't know much about it at the time.

Next thing you know Lungworm was being called the next dog killer. But it never really happened with just the odd case being heard of. But what you're talking about seems to be an epidemic.

I use Parazole as it does "Slugworm" and leave no food or bones out overnight as you'll see the silvery slime trail over it the next morning.

stick some food out surrounded by salt, the slugs commit suicide
