Lungworm risk - Sheffield
We have a confirmed case of lungworm in the Bolehill area of Sheffield. We therefore advise ALL dog owners to use protection against lungworm. Protection comes in the form of a liquid product containing Moxidectin, which prevents infection or in the form of a tablet containing milbemycin, which treats the infection.
Please be vigilant and contact us with any worries.
The lungworm (Angiostrongylus vasorum) is a parasite that can cause serious health problems in dogs and can even be fatal if not diagnosed and treated. The parasite is known to spread quickly.
Lungworm infections can result in a number of different signs, which may easily be confused with other illnesses, but improved detection methods including blood test and poo sampling mean more and more cases are now being confirmed. Lungworm is now endemic throughout much of the UK and is NOT known to infect humans.
POSSIBLE SYMPTOMS OF LUNGWORM
1 Breathing problems: Coughing and tiring easily
2 Poor blood clotting: Excessive bleeding from even minor cuts or wounds, nose bleeds, bleeding into the eye or anaemia (paleness around the eyes and gums)
3: General sickness: Weight loss, poor appetite, vomiting and diarrhoea, depression, lethargy
4: Seizures (fits)
