BaronessBL Nov 2020 3:15pm, 10 Nov 2020 8,450 posts	0 BaronessBL It's really worth getting the one that does lungworm - a dog in our village contracted it (I think from a slug) and was at the veterinary hospital in Newmarket for quite a while with it. We have always got the one that does lungworm from the vet since then.

Alice the Camel Nov 2020 4:15pm, 10 Nov 2020 5,649 posts	0 Alice the Camel Our vet prescribes Drontal. Isn’t lungworm covered in the annual vaccinations? (Can’t remember!)
SjohnA Nov 2020 4:26pm, 10 Nov 2020 149 posts	0 SjohnA No, lungworm is not in the vaccinations. You need specific wormers: vets4pets.com

Alice the Camel Nov 2020 9:18pm, 10 Nov 2020 5,651 posts	0 Alice the Camel Thanks, SjohnA, that’s the combination we’re given on our health plan. Lungworm covered by Advocate then! I’ve not heard of any shortages here, but not due our next batch until January so we’ll see if it’s switched then.

Alice the Camel Nov 2020 8:22am, 11 Nov 2020 5,654 posts	0 Alice the Camel Poor Arlo Fingers crossed he grows out of his health problems. I remember spending a lot of time (and money!) at the vet with Charlie when he was a puppy, but his skin and ear issues cleared up when he hit around 18 months old.
