Chao Lao Beach Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 The info I read seem to be form USA websites, is Lungworm in Thailand ? If so, does it need a separate pill like Heartworm in Dogs seem to ? I am clueless on this. Unlike intestinal parasites, lungworms reside in the lungs of a cat. Most cats will not show any signs of having lungworms, but some can develop a cough. Snails and slugs are popular intermediate hosts of this type of parasite, but cats are usually infected after eating a bird or rodent who has ingested an intermediate host.
Chao Lao Beach Posted May 25, 2016 Author Posted May 25, 2016 (Heavily re-edited this post) The Pusy did a check up last week, I am trying to follow up if the pusy needs heart worm pills, (I am out of Thailand) Results form one of the blood test: Snap feline triple/TLPH FIV Antibody - Neg Fel V Antigen - Neg Feline Heartworm Antigen - Neg Heartworm seems to be a thing for cats, Is a dose of Drontal all they need ? Looking on the WWW Drontal doesn't seem to cover heartworm. Anyone up to speed on these things, I can't just ring the vet as such. I need to know facts before I push.
