Paragonimus stomach worm - The vet found this in Bad Leroy Brown's stool test yesterday. They couldn't tell me anything about it. He's on a once a day treatment of Panacur for 3 days. Does anyone know anything about it? I've looked it up on the internet and don't like what I've found....... Vet said that this is not intestinal parasite but it is in his stomach. Lots of them. Internet said it's a lung fluke that is picked up from eating crayfish who have eaten infected snails. Leroy certainly has never SEEN a crayfish! All I can figure is he must have stepped in something (racoon poo?) that was contaminated. Poor little guy's tongue sticks out all the time and when he has his head to the ground sniffing, his tongue drags and comes in contact with everything. Almost time for his second treatment . . . . |
I haven't heard of that. I hope your baby feels better soon. |
How's your baby feeling? |
Update - Bad Leroy Brown is acting more like his spunky little self this morning . . . . yesterday was the 3rd dose of the rx. I have a call in to the vet to see if he needs to be checked again at some point to make sure it's all gone. And if we need to be concerned, since the internet info says it's transmittable between dogs & people. I did speak with his former vet to see when his last fecal test was done and to make sure it would have revealed this specific issue. :thumbup: Thank you for asking!!!:thumbs up |
