Angiostrongylosis is a horrible disease affecting dogs not just in the UK but in many other countries besides. The two most commonly reported clinical presentations are associated with spontaneous bleeding or respiratory signs due to verminous pneumonia! In this podcast we discuss this parasitic infection in some depth and I am joined once again by Karen Humm who is a Lecturer in Emergency & Critical Care (ECC) at the QMHA and a co-Director of the Transfusion Medicine service.
In the podcast Karen and I were not entirely clear about exactly what the two licensed veterinary preparations are licensed for...I am not sure I am any more clear so here are some links for you to check them out!

PS. In the podcast Karen mentions some parasite that has a life-cycle which as you can tell she finds very exciting! She was keen I shared the link with you so here you go! |
