They said it is tape worm,,,, and that is caused by fleas!!! Well both my dogs are treated for that and my lil Diamond is also medicated for Heartworm which also helps with fleas... So I guess you can say she is double protected! So y am I spending money on preventative care if it doesnt do its job??? Also, this morning I kept my eye on them and when they went out I checked to see which dog has it... Well neither of them had anything in their stool... Does it show up everytime? When I take them in will they test them first or just treat them? Im so confused and must say VERY upset that Frontline isnt doing its job...
Maybe Im over~reacting... I never had any problems with our Chihuahua.  
Thank you!!! |
Was the person who said it was tapeworm the same person who made the appointment for you? If yes, then it was probably the receptionist who should not be making such assumptions!
As these are 'new' dogs, it wouldn't hurt to have your vet do a health check up on them, to rule out any problems either may have to start with. If all is good then go from there.
You can request they be tested first, or let the vet decide depending on what he finds during their exams, if anything.
