Plain-English summary
Four young dogs were diagnosed with a respiratory infection caused by a parasite called Oslerus osleri after vets found nodules in their windpipes and larvae in their airway samples. The dogs showed improvement after being treated with ivermectin, a common deworming medication, but three of them needed multiple treatments to fully recover and stop showing symptoms. With the right care, these dogs were able to overcome the infection and breathe easier again.

Abstract
Oslerus osleri tracheobronchitis was diagnosed in 4 young dogs following endoscopic visualization of tracheal nodules and identification of larvae in airway cytologic samples. All dogs improved when ivermectin was administered (200-400 micrograms/kg body weight); however, most (3/4) required serial treatments in order to achieve long-term resolution of clinical signs.
