Tape worms!! My yorkie, Teddy has tape worms (from what I can tell) I have a sample i am taking to the vet... just wanted advice on if there is a med that works better, and if I should keep him in the house, and if I should treat ALL my fur babies thanks, Linda :confused: |
I would definately have all my other dogs checked and I would talk to your vet and ask him about everything else as well as weather you need to have anyone in your family check because humans can also have tape worms. Good luck and keep us posted. |
Take the dog and a stool sample in so the Vet. can give him the medication right then. Yes, if one dog has worms, all others will need to be treated as well. |
Oh no!! good luck to you and do keep us updated! I would've had the other furbabies checked out too!! |
Sissy had tape worms when we got her. I took the "grains of rice" that I had found in the bed to the vet. He gave me medication (1 pill did it) and had me treat both of them. No problems since. |
:eek:not only did he have 'grains of rice', but he had a whole long worm. :eek: its so gross and i feel so bad for him! I know he has to feel icky, and I guess now I now why he has been having accidents in the house!!! |
I take my dogs out and to dog parks so they get Drontal every three months just in case. This was recommended by my vet. I order it online. Drontal is recommended for the control of all gastrointestinal worms in dogs including roundworm, hookworm, whipworm and tapeworm (including hydatid tapeworm). Drontal is a tablet formulation of 3 distinctly different proven drugs offering the broadest spectrum of activity. Praziquantel destroys the tapeworm's ability to defend itself from the host. Febantel and Pyrantel embonate attack roundworm via two seperate modes of action. |
what symptoms do tape worms cause? |
Tape worms come from swallowing a flea. With Sissy the main thing we noticed was she was very skinny and very tired (she's a rescue). Then we found the "rice grains" in the bed. Another symptom is butt dragging:eek:.:eek: |

I got my dogs praziquantel tabs, I don't know how long it takes to work, or anything, he hasn't had an accident so I haven't seen his poop.. The only way I knew he had them was that he had an accident and I saw the worms pieces moving around.. *pukey face* |
Here is everything you ever wanted to know about tapeworms, but were afraid to ask! ;) The Tapeworm Page |

Baxter has had them 3 times in 7 months. And he has no fleas. I'm not saying he hasn't eaten a flea but he has no fleas on him. I have found 1 flea on him in that entire tme. it is very frustrating. |

I know it sounds it gross but I always kind of check Roxie's poo to make sure there's nothing in it. She had been checked last year and she was all clear for any internal parasites. She's due again though and it's something I worry about and find comfort in having done. It always feels good to know she's all clear of anything that could cause her or us harm. I think they can also drag their rear ends because they may need a sanitary done. The little fecal glands get kind of full and may need to be emptied out. Usually your groomer does this but if you don't ask they may not. My groomer always asks me if I want it done. |
Your first tapeworm will "gross you out". I always check Charlie's poop every time I pick it up. Also, when they begin to have loose poopies, slimey, then usually a poopie with blood will follow. I try to make sure that I don't get to that stage. It is easy for them to ingest a flea especially on walks and sniffing their friends to say "hello". Make sure your child doesn't handle your pup until the medicine has done it job. Warmly, Deborah |
how long does it take for the meds to start working? Luckily our obedience class was cancled tonight, I didn't want to risk one of the other pups getting them from him!!!! |
