the mom likes to dig and months before even getting pregnant i saw 2 little worms in one of my yorkies poop(i have 3 adult yorkies). after scrubbing my skin in the shower for over 30 min. and daytime flashbacks of poop with 2 little worms which i could draw onto paper exactly what i saw even many hours later i spent 50.00 for deworming pills for all 3 yorkies. i had just given them their heartworm medicine 2 days earlier and i was told by the vet that the heartworm prevention is probably what made the worms come out. (after that incident i have become faithful with the heartworm prevention) The mom was never pregnant and dewormed but she did get the heartworm prevention while preg. the vet and directions on the box said it was okay to use on a preg dog.
i have 2 pups one boy and one girl they are now 6 weeks. the boy did have a potbelly at 4 weeks, i thought he was just fat but reading some entries on YT (wonderful site) i was almost positive it was worms. i kind of didnt want to bring him to the vet (you know, what you dont know wont hurt you). anyways they are 6 weeks now an look soooo cute their bellies look regular now although i need to bring them back to the vet. ill do it tomorrow after work. my husdand works night so if there are worms like last time i dont know what i will do. there is no way i will be able to clean them up!!!!!!!!!! |
