Look in news about half way down 9th april, was talking to Billa last week and they had another in after this pup that did not make it

Yery informative site for Q&A http://www.lungworm.co.uk/scripts/pages/en/home.php

might be going there for a few days. ill keep an extra eye on ben.

Im in staffordshire but regularly take the dogs to derbu=yshire as its where im from and family live. I nearly lost sadie to lungworm last year. Its more common than you think.

Yikes!! That is my vets!! Good job I am up on my worming but will be extra careful now!

I have bumped this up for people with dogs that have persistent coughs. KC is also doing its round.

There is a lot of it in the South coast where I am.

Any dog that eats snails or slugs or licks stuff in the garden, eats grass, is at risk... also those that catch frogs - according to a vet in Chichester, frogs can carry it too.

Mine has been around slugs snails and eats grass etc but has no symptoms... Maybe a sound immune system is the best defence.
