In this episode, host Alyssa Watson, DVM, is joined by Heather D.S. Walden, MS, PhD, to discuss her recent Clinician’s Brief article, “Rat Lungworm in Companion Animals.” This new-to-us parasite is popping up more frequently in the Southeast region of the United States in both dogs and humans and can be challenging to diagnose and treat. Dr. Walden talks through what we know, what we don’t, and what we can do.
