We have an appt with the vet tomorrow, and now I feel sooo much better. You guys are the best!
I'd say you shouldn't be able to SEE roundworms in the poop. If they are white it is 95% of the time tapeworms. A holistic remedy is FOOD GRADE diatamacious earth ... MUST MUST MUST BE FOOD GRADE. One teaspoon for our small dogs mixed with some wet food (I'd say 3 tspn wet to 1 tsp diatamacious) for 7 days. It is AMAZING!!!!! But if you want to put chemicals in her/him, get Iverhart Max, it will cover her/him for heartworms TOO. A monthly dose and you are good! I used both. I of COURSE asked my vet first and he said the added DE wouldn't hurt but that the Iverhart would definitely work.
