Tapeworms!!! UCKY!!!! I found them in her POOP!!! Little white rice like grains ... with gloves on (nursing student ... so curious) I mushed threw the poop and noticed that they were MOVING!!! :eek::eek::eek: AHHHHHH!!!!! I was so disgusted I immediately flushed that "crap" :cool: away!! I should of taken a picture to take to the vet with me. Well tomorrow is Sunday. Will she be ok until Monday? Of course I freaked myself out even more by looking at pictures online. CRAP this SUCKS!!! |
Doesnt sound like a tapeworm they are a real long flat worm, but there are several different kinds of worms. I would definately take her to the vet along with a stool sample. |
Just wanted to say ick and well done you for being so brave! |
Tapeworms break off into segments and look like grains of rice. It sounds like tapeworms to me |
3 Attachment(s) I don't want to go to work tonight! I'm soo worried. But she is acting energetic and its 730 in the morning. I gave her dewormer as soon as I saw it... then I read that dewormer isn't going to do crap for her (it was the dewormer the vet gave me). I took pictures of one of the segments I found this morning. |
Wow that does look like a tapeworm :( Poor baby. |
Now she puked. Puked up water (versace does that when he drinks too much too fast) but could this be getting worse? I'm going to try to get tomorrow off so I can watch her all day. I am so worried. I've never had this happen with any of my pets. |
Don't panic. You can get a pill that will kill the tapeworm from your vet tomorrow. Are you using a topical flea preventative? Dogs get tapeworms from fleas. The Tapeworm Page |
just get her a tapeworm pill and she well be fine. |
yep just tell them you need something for tapeworms and something to get rid of the fleas also so no more tapeworms the get the tapes from eating the fleas they are yucky |
Yup, a tape. Different meds for tape. Some are a one pill and others, 3 days. She'll be ok till tomorrow. |

I have to say I LOVE this website! where else can you find a picture of dog poop with a worm that helps you identify what kind of worm your dog has??? I found a worm on Beckett's poop this morning and have been freaking out all day- so gross. Is it round, tape, etc. We have an appt with the vet tomorrow, and now I feel sooo much better. You guys are the best! |
