My vet diagnosed him yesterday and we started some panacur.

I have read that you should use bleach to clean up after his BM's to make sure that he doesnt reinfect himself or infect my other dog. Weeell..what if he goes on the carpet? (we're still house training) Would a product like windex work? I hate to spray bleach all over my floors. Of course on the wood or tile i would, but any other suggestions for carpet cleaning?

I have also thought about re-treating with the panacur on my own in about 10 days. I have read here that seems to be a good way to get over the hump.

I am very concerned and just want RID of this bug. Any advice would be soo greatly appreciated.
