Poor Slade Where do I even begin? I noticed this morning that he has tape worms I don't know how he got them since I haven't seen any fleas on any of the dogs since before I got Slade, but they are definitely tapes. *Gag* This morning I had to rearrange his crate from the den to the guest bedroom. He was being whiney so he got to ride in the front carrier all morning like a baby while I cleaned. He was content just to snuggle next to me while I cleaned and moved stuff. So this afternoon I went to the feed store to get him and Lu some food and him some meds for the tape worms. I got home and realized he needed some wet food to take the meds with, so I went back and took him. While we were there, there were two really rude people that made comments about him. Got home and fed it too him with the meds. 2 hrs later he vomits all over the crate. yuck. I think the canned food didn't agree with his tummy. He's only eaten dry his whole life. He seems fine now, I'm going to offer him some of his regular dry food in case he's hungry. |
Awww...poor Slade hope he feels better soon. Have you tried yogurt, apple sauce, ice cream to mix in the meds? |
I hope Slade feels better soon Sending hugs from me and Cody James |
Awww I hope Slade feels better:getwellso :getwellso ... |
sorry he has tapes. he could have picked them up from eating something out in the yard. i hope the meds clear it up. |
ok, I feel stupid now.. I didn't even think of that. :rolleyes: As much as I had to give my senior dog meds prior to her death, I can't believe I didn't even think of mixing it in a bit of yogurt! We have some in the fridge, I'll try that for his meds tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion1 :D |
Aww, poor baby! Puppy wishes coming from my gang that he feels better real soon! |

I hope the meds work too. It only kills one kind of tapes, I'm hoping thats the kind he has! If not, I guess I'll be begging mom for money to take him to the vet until I can get paid. If the meds work, How many days should it take until I don't the tape worm segments in his stool? Thanks for the get well wishes everyone! |
Awww I know I feel bad when mine don't feel well. I hope Slade feels better soon! I don't know much about the tapeworms but maybe you could do a search on google to find out. Good Luck! :thumbup: |
Poor Slade. Hope he feels better soon! |
We hope little Slade feels better really soon....maybe Santa will bring him something extra special for being sick;) |
Feel better soon Slade!:) |

I'm not sure how long it takes them to go away. Usually if its discovered at the vet we tell people to drop off a sample a week after the meds are finished to test again. We use Drontal at the hospital. I'm not familiar with store bought medication. |
ah yes, we have plenty of rabbit poop in the yard. The house next to us is vacant, and next to them is the woods, so we get bunnies in our yard quite often.That is probably how he got it. Honestly I don't hold much hope in the store bought since it only kills one kind, but I figure I'd try it before I spent $70 on a vet bill (office fee- $40, fecal $15, meds $15). It worked for my foster that had tapes, so maybe, just maybe. I checked his crate again and he threw up pretty much all his dinner. It was not frothy vomit, more like tubes. I took him with me on a beer run, which he enjoyed and we played some. He fussed when I put him down for the night. I did give him some food since he is probably hungry. |
Get well soon Slade! |
