SUMMARY A young female Queensland Blue Heeler with signs of severe respiratory distress was diagnosed as having Oslerus osleri. Radiographic, bronchoscopic, parasitologic and pathologic findings are described and treatment is briefly reviewed. A possible route of larval migration from the pulmonary capillaries to the predilection site is proposed.
