| 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.

| Tapeworms break off into segments and look like grains of rice. It sounds like tapeworms to me

| 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. |

| 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 |

| 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! |
