Good post Tupac2legs. I don't know a lot about lungworm, except that it is caused by slugs and snails and frogs and it is becoming more widespread in this country. Am I right in thinking that currently you can only treat it once there are symptoms, or have preventave drugs now been developed for it as for other diseases. I know with bordatella you provide protection (when a dog goes into kennels for example).
