I called the breeder and told her what morgan had and she said she had no idea morgan had these things when she left her house. obviously she did tho. you can take two stool samples from the same puppy and have eggs found in one sample, but none in the other. you are not going to find eggs in every sample. same goes with litter mates.

Thes puppies had no signs, no diarrhea, no loose stools, nor did any of my other dogs,

eating, drinking, and nursing from the same have nothing to do with it.

Really, then why is it so contagious.

and that's a good thing.

the topic of this thread and these two subjects you addressed are totally different. vets do not know the breed standard of every dog. it is not their concern. and you cannot know that what people come on here saying is true. sure they could have taken their female to the vet and asked if it was ok to breed to another yorkie and their vet said yes, because physically the dog is ok to be bred safely.

vets like doctors are not perfect. some are scum and will do anything to make a buck but that is not the case with all. some are also behind in the times, or fresh out of school so they don't have the experience or all the newest knowledge. that is why its good to sometimes get a second opinion. or if what your vet is doing isn't working and your concerned, its good to get a second opinion. you'd do the same if it was your health and your doctors.

I'm glad we agree on something


however something like worms that can be easily tested and treated for a couple bucks is different. and to suggest that they would take the time to "plant" the eggs in a stool sample to make a few dollars is absurd. who has the time for that? they do not make money off stool samples and worm medication. its not worth the time or effort to fudge results to make 5 extra dollars.

I'm sure they don't do it for nothing. I Know what the meds cost when you buy from pet supply places on the internet and how much the vet charges for them. they make a lot of money from selling the meds.

Most people are not there when the test is done, so thereis no needto plantanything. The vet just tells them they have worms and need meds.

I have never taken in stool samples and have never had a sick puppy.

This is something that we are ever going to prove one way or another. I was just defending my position. So we may as well agree to disagree on this one.
