I called another vet today to describe the aspiration, and the worms and all the other vet did was confuse me more. They told me that only tapeworms can be seen in stool with the naked eye, but not roundworms so she said that the reason why the medication is not working is because my puppy has tapeworms and not roundworms...They also told me that panacur does not work on tapeworms (as previously mentioned above) Everything I've read online however is completely opposite to what she said...either way I was told by the new vet to bring in a fecal sample anyway. I've spent so much time looking at pictures online of roundworms vs. tapeworms AND I've looked at Teddy's stool extensively and I am almost positive that the pictures of the canine roundworms I've seen match Teddy's, but what should I know?! LOL Thank you everyone for your help and responses, I know that I'm making a big deal out of nothing, but Teddy is my first pup and those worms are quite irksome... |
It is not a big deal out of nothing. You love your Teddy and you don't want him to be sick and that's totally understandable
. Glad to hear that little Teddy is doing better in the breathing department! I hope he feels better from everything else soon. Keep us posted! I'll say a little prayer for Teddy.
