I am not too sure if he came with the worms from the breeder. Perhaps he did (or got them from his mommy, another possibility), cause I did not really put him on the ground or anywhere else. Unfortunately, since worms are treatable, they were not included in the 1 year guarantee I got from the breeder.
I live in an apartment as well, so he's never out and about in any yard or sidewalk (especially cause he doesnt have all his vaccines yet). I actually train him on the pee pads and disinfect everything after.
Should I bathe him everyday? I know that can dry his coat out, but I dont know if I should be taking more precautions to get rid of the worms. Recently, I've just been wiping his little bum everyday, after every time he poops. The vet just told me, "Make sure he doesn't eat his own poop and clean up well."
Anyway,
thanks so much for the kind words and reassurances. I appreciate it a lot and feel a little better
