Question: I have a companion donkey. My horse contracted lungworm. Do you believe horses and donkeys can be kept together?
Answer: Lung worms are a pretty unusual problem in horses in the United States. When they do get infected, it is usually from donkeys. Donkeys infected with lung worms usually show no clinical signs of disease. In horses, the parasites only very rarely can complete their life cycle, so the transmission almost never goes the other way.
