I just wanted to add that Panacur worming paste kills lungworm.

Hi Jasper is obsessed with snails and slugs and we constantly check the garden for them but he nearly always finds the one we missed on on a walk and we have to get them off him. How easy is lungworm to pick up? He is only 13 weeks old and I am really worried now. As far as I know he has only eaten one snail and a couple of slugs the others we have managed to get off him.
