Lung Worm

There was a big article in Croydon Advertiser Friday with regard to a lot of vets in Surrey(mentioning certain vets in Addiscombe and Croydon) warning that there is lung worm in the area,and that they have had a lot of dogs in their surgerys with it,signs are listlessness,coughing,no interest in their food,
Panacur is apparantly the way to go treatment wise,
just thought i'd post,in case anyones reading in this area

It's slugs and snails that are spreading it, the warmer weather doesn't help and Milbemax can also be used to treat it so that is why it is best to rotate your wormers to make sure you are covering all bases.

Beer traps do work, but just remember when I'm attracted to them not to throw me out with the snails/slugs
