i just bought lily fri morning and i saw worms that night and took her to the vet it was tape worm, so i wanted to treat stewie and lulu because new puppy alot of bum sniffing, 1 pill covered all 3 but the vet gave me 4 and said one pill once a month for four months, incase there were more tape worms around the yard and house from her. I took the poo with me cause i thought it was round worm , but it ended up tape so glad i took it , for the 4 pills and examination of poo $48. I guess you can also get tape worm if they played with a dead mouse or something as well, or swallowing a flea, i agree worms are gross that was my first time in all the puppies i have owned. |
My poodles chased and caught a rabbit. Needless to say, rabbit=fleas=tapeworm! I did not know this at the time and it took a few months before I notice they had anything in their poo. I had 10 poodles at the time, I had to treat all of them, yuck! Now I don't allow them to go after the wildlife in the area! |
Lol you're lucky, my first experience w/one was about 30yrs ago. I saw what looked like a piece of fuzz the size of a grain of rice stuck to the top of my cats hind leg. Picked it off with my finger...hmmm, it was damp...hmmm, it moved...hmmm...CRAP IT WAS A WORM!!!! LOL flea has tape worm eggs, dog eats flea, flea goes in dog, eggs hatch, makes worm. Worm makes segments full of eggs that snap off like grains of rice and crawl out their little butts and drop off, dry up and wait for flea to eat, dog eats flea, on and on.... usually the vet only has to give 'em one pill. it causes the worm's head to detach from the intestine, die and expell completely from the host (dog) and go away. at least you were able to get your gloves...I was blindsided!!! |
