| Make sure they give another dose of the meds in 3 weeks. Some Vets do this & some don't. Stormy had tapeworms when I got her & the 1st dose didn't get them all & she needed another dose 3 wks later.

| We already have an appt. for three weeks for boosters and the second meds for the worms. Did you notice your baby acting a little different after the first dose of meds? I am sure I would be kinda sickly if that was me but it just kinda makes me worried.. |

| Maybe it was the combined vaccines and medication for the worms that caused the tiredness. How is the pup doing now?

| I bet that is what it was..she woke up 3 times in the night and we went outside and she ..did her business.. so maybe the worms are slowly but surely coming out! This morning when we woke up she was back to her normal self After you read some of the stuff on here about the things that have happened or could happen I think it makes you worry a little more when they start acting differently..Thanks for the help and support! |

| I recommend starting her on Frontline or another good flea med. The most common transmital of tape worms is from fleas
