Get the medication and treat for fleas. Once your sure there are no fleas in the home or on the dog you can treat for the worms. |
I agree but, my vet said puppies should be treated for the tapeworms ASAP and they should be treated for fleas at the same time. The flea cycle must be broken. Flea Meds should Kill adult,larva and eggs. Also, Tape worms should be treated more than once to kill adult and newly hatched worms.
