Hi All:
My labrador retriever puppy was just diagnosed with a gape worm infection. Needless to say I am very much unhappy and concerned for her an my other dogs' health - not to mention my family's health. My puppy got gape worm because my neighbor who has about 20 or more chickens (which I fundamentally have no problem with) does not keep the chickens confined to their fenced in pen area which is actually pretty darn large. As a result the chickens end up in my neighbor and my yard from time to time. Gape worm is very bad news for chickens and also no picnic for a dog. So please - be aware that your chickens can get this parasite and be mindful of your neighbors who have house pets. I imagine a cat could just as easily get the infestation as a dog. I got a nice big vet bill thanks to my neighbor who is clueless.
