The French Heart worm is spread by eating snails. The worm larva found in the snail migrate from the dogs intestines to reach the heart where the worms develope to maturity. Larval worms then leave the heart, enter the lungs and are coughed up. In this case some of the larvae have migrated to the eye. Both eyes contain live worms which are removed surgically.
