Lungworm

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • thunderbird8588T

    Have just read a newspaper article on lungworm. Dogs can be affected by eating slugs or snails that carry the worm. The article reccomends worming once a month to prevent this and says that not all wormers will treat it.
    We have no dogs at the moment but do have slugs coming into the house uugggggg!!!!!
    Has anyone any good ideas to get rid of them, i do sprinkle salt on the floor where i think they are getting in but we are worried about using pellets when we do have a pup.

    Did she always have them or did they start after something/some time? Do antihistamines clear the problem?

    @serenjane My Kembe had the freckles on her neck - more pronounced in summer months w/ the sun and also as she aged. I use to call her my little 🦒 giraffe. 😂
