Latest NewsWhat is this lungworm? (January 01, 2012)
Many infected dogs show no signs of illness and signs do not develop until 5-6 months after infection. The nodules formed by the adults in the airways can result in a dry non-productive cough. Often the cough is mild but may become worse with exercise or excitement. Most affected dogs are less than 2 years old. Since lungworm infections are not common in the UK there are far more common reasons for coughing in a young dog (such as Kennel cough). Dogs with very severe infections may be off their food and lose weight. If your dog is unwell in any way make an appointment to see your vet.
