Tapeworms! I've noticed Rylie scooting his butt some recently..and today I caught him scooting across the carpet...YUCK! After I got onto him, I looked under his tail and saw dried tapeworm segments :eek: YUCK YUCK YUCK! I immediately called my vet who was booked up today, but was able to get into Banfield as a walk-in at 3:00. I took Rylie and Lacy in for fecal samples...I hadn't seen any on Lacy but wanted to make sure she was clear. So they both got examined and had fecals done. Lacy's was negative for any parasites, and Rylie got sent home with some pills for his tapeworms. UGH..worms are SO gross :thumbdown Banfield is awesome - since I'm a vet student, I got free exams and office visits for both of them and 15% off the fecals and medications..I thought that was great! Now I feel like I need to vacuum my whole house like crazy and wash everything |

Haley scoots her butt on the floor all the time..I told the groomer last time to express her anal glands, she said there was nothing that came out, but, I've never seen worms on her..That's good Lacy didn't have any....yukk |
my poodle did that this morning so i checked her and she had dried poo on her poor bottom.i felt so bad for her .so looks like I"m GONNA HAVE TO START DOING THE BOTTOM CHECK EVERY DAY. |
Yuck, I would just die if i ever seen a worm, at least there is a simple treatment for that though, happy lacy was ok, do they catch them from each other?? just curios. |
Actually you can see the segments in their "poop" and looks like pieces of white rice. Look on your bedspreade or where the pups sits because you will probably find dried segments and they look like light brown dried rice. I will never forget when Sophie was young, and after the medication passed a tapeworm. I thought I would never forget what came out of her stomach. It is icky and makes you feel so bad to think that "thing" is there. |

One of my cats had tapeworms once. I won't go into detail about how I found out she had worms but it grossed me out so bad I put her out on the lanai, washed my hands, changed my bed sheets, vacumed the whole house and swept my kitchen floor. Guess I went a little overboard huh?:rolleyes: Thats really nice that you can get free exams and OVs from Banfield.:thumbup: |
Icky. Franklin JUST got over having tapeworms, roundworms, AND hookworms so I feel your pain. I washed my hands so much they started to crack and bleed. Needless to say, I use a LOT of lotion now. :) Good luck with everything! |
Been there...done that...I feel your pain. Poor little guy. :( |
