Glad the meds will get rid of them. That's a good idea to put the crate on your nightstand so they can be close by you.
Yeah, I was concerned about my hubby and me getting them, but my vet said that humans cannot get this type of tapeworm unless they ingest a flea. So, that's a sigh of relief. Hopefully H&H won't be too traumatized by sleeping in their crate instead of their bed. If they really don't mind it, it might become a permanent thing. Sometimes the yorkies can be disruptive to our sleep. I will sure miss cuddling with them, though!
