Even if they don't have fleas, if they get one while outside, go after it when it bites, eat it - voila - tapeworms. Regular dewormer won't kill them. Good luck. They aren't dangerous(the regular ones) unless there are many of them and they go untreated.
What's the name of the OTC meds. I have all the ingredients from the medicine the vet gave me and it seems like only one of them is the one I really need. The other one is for other types of worms... which I doubt she'll get since she gets Interceptor once a month.
