Among the possible pathologies that can affect the respiratory tract of the felines, are those caused by pulmonary parasites, especially Aelurostrongylus abstrusus, a nematode of the superfamily Metastrongyloidea, commonly called the pulmonary worm of the cat. Because of the common symptomatology of other respiratory diseases of different etiologies, a diagnosis error may occur. In this way, larval research through coproparasitological technique is of great importance. The objective of this report is to describe the case of a feline with aelurostrongilose, evidencing the diagnosis and treatment of it.
