Now, for those of you NOT into bot fly larvae, ascaris lombardes, and other icky parasites (maggots, maggots, maggots, yech! right?) I would suggest that you DO NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO. There, that dispenses my usual warning, I don’t want anyone fainting away, cracking their skulls open, bleeding all over their newly installed, imported, handwoven berber rug and sending me the bills. lol

For those who are interested, this is a fascinating video of the Giant Kidney Worm. I have never in my life seen anything so huge in the parasitic world. The video is quite educational, giving you a good background before proceeding to the actual surgery on the dog named Rosie (who makes a fantastic recovery, so no one worry!!!).

I hope you find this as enjoyable and jaw dropping as I did! It is one of those vids I don’t even consider what kind of “star rating” it gets, the educational value to me is worth much more. Especially as a dog owner and pet lover myself.

ENJOY!

Good Video! I am very interested in parasites and how they effect the body. (Monsters Inside Me, is an awesome show btw) I am glad to see the dog recovered! That was some pretty bad infestation of worms!

Wow. Just, wow. Excellent find, as always! Now, what I’m wondering is, how did they deal with all those free-floating eggs in the dog’s abdomen?

This is so interesting. I’ve only seen one of these and it was alot smaller and a smaller dog. Poor Rosie in this video had been functioning with one kidney for a long time. This just shows you how resilient dogs are, this had to be very painful for many reason, especially since the worm was blocking the dogs urether. OWIE! Go Rosie! Good Girl!

Spitzer – I wondered the same thing. I am assuming (I know, to assume is bad, as it makes an AS* out of U and ME – a joke my math teacher was fond of) they cleaned them out along with some of the adhesions. Also, I think an anti-parasitic medication was already on board as they were talking about how the parasites were still moving, meaning I am sure that death was imminent. So even if an egg was left behind, the meds should keep it from developing and hopefully it will just pass out of the dogs system. I am glad folks are finding this informational – I just lovelearning new things!! Isn’t that the point of life? To learn, each and every day? lol

Holy crap! Those things were enormous. I was glad to see Rosie looking so great just 2 days later. She looked very happy and must have felt so much better. That was a great video!

Wow very educational and interesting. To think how long this poor puppy had those inside her before anyone noticed anything. But it was great to see that Rosie completley recovered and that her owners did everything they could to make sure she was happy and healthy! Great find!

I found that fascinating. How would a dog get that parasite? (I’ve only ever owned cats, and they stay indoors.)

*Exactly* H.S! The day you stop learning is the day you start croaking.
Again, thanks for the find – I enjoyed it a bunch!

That was so informative! Amazing footage. I just don’t find parasites disgusting to see, but I can understand how much it horrifies and why it freaks people out! I read a book called Parasite Rex once which told me a lot about some of the more extreme examples of parasites that can control the bodies of hosts and sometimes even entire ecosystems just to get what they want — To reproduce and reproduce and reproduce… It’s good to be vigilant and watch for signs in children and adult humans as well as our pets for things that want to feed off and reproduce in them… Or does that go without saying, after watching what these terribly destructive type of worm will do?

When pulling it out…it just kept coming…and coming…and coming…and coming…!!! I thought it would never end! I am really glad they showed how happy she was after the surgery. It’s comforting.
