If the dogs are on monthly then the worms are coming from some place else. I find it hard to fathom that a household fly is laying maggot eggs that are surviving in sanitary conditions. If that is the case, call an exterminator to bomb your apartment. |
They are given monthly frontline plus, but not heartguard...so I should do a fecal then? Is there a specific fecal? I had called a vet previously they had two different fecal tests. One in the vet and the other in the lab. Last time they were given a dewormer, we actually wanted a fecal test, but they wouldn't do it unless they were exhibiting symptoms where they have worms...they both didn't show symptoms but I wanted to get it as a safety precaution. Currently, they both don't have worms in their poop and are eating not a lot...the maggots are underneath the grass. I flipped the grass over to take the pictures.
