Female worms reach lengths of over one meter by up to 12 mm in diameter; male worms measure 20 cm by 6–8 mm. Both sexes are blood red in color. The parasite is distributed worldwide, but is rare in Europe. It is not restricted to the dog as the final host, but can infect most mammals (including humans). [45]
After treatment, the dog must rest, and exercise is to be heavily reduced for several weeks so as to give its body sufficient time to absorb the dead worms without ill effect. Otherwise, if the dog is under exertion, dead worms may break loose and travel to the lungs, potentially causing respiratory failure and sudden death.
