Yes unfortunately. I have just been to the vets and there was a big poster all about it. Slugs and snails carry lung worm. They say you shouldnt leave your dogs toys or dishes outside, as the snail and slugs crawl over them and leave a trail which can carry the lungworm. Apparently this year is a particularly bad year in the UK.
Hopefully, because Poppy has been sick, she will be fine. Just keep an eye on her, and phone the vet if she doesnt seem her usual self..xx
