hobgoblin Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 GOOD MORNING ALL, JUST A NOTE OF CAUTION. WE ARE IN BOURNEMOUTH AREA & OUR WORKING COCKER SPANIEL HAS CONTRACTED LUNGWORM WHICH IS PICKED UP FROM SLUG & SNAILS. SO ANY TOYS ,DUMMYS,BALLS BONES BASICLAYY ANY THING A DOG PICKS UP OUTDOORS CAN BR INFECTED.. HE'S A STRONG DOG & IS MAKING A GOOD RECOVERY HOWEVER IT CAN BE FATAL. SO PLEASE MAKE SURE WITH YOUR VET THAT DOGS ARE DOSED ON THE CORRECT LUNGWORM TREATMENT,AS I'M NOT SURE THE STANDARD TREATMENT COVERS IT..

-Mongrel- Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 (edited) If you are worried (and you should be IMO), Advocate Flea treatment also deals with lungworm and heartworm which the other well known spot-on flea treatment doesn't.

gilo17 Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Is Advocote still only available on prescripition? seems a bit daft as lung worm is quite serious is there any other preventative treatments out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
