Spirocerca lupi is a parasitic worm that can affect dogs of any age, but the problems usually appear later in life. This worm is mainly carried by dung beetles, although birds, lizards, and small rodents can also carry the parasite. Once inside the dog, the worm migrates and can cause esophageal granulomas, as seen in the image above. A common symptom is vomiting right after eating.

As with most things, prevention is better than cure! Milbemycin is highly effective at eliminating the worm before it causes any issues. Regular deworming with products containing milbemycin or moxidectin is strongly recommended. 🐾

Pop into any of our clinics and ask for a dewormer like Milbemax!
