Toby has worms - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Ladymay02 · 11-21-2012, 10:50 AM

Hi guys. So I've been to the vet and called them a few times. But because I'm a worried new mommy I want to get your advice as well. Toby has been confirmed to have round worms and round worm eggs. He has been dewormed two days ago and put on chicken and rice diet. Yesterday he had perfect stools with long worms in them. Then today he is back to the really soft and jelly ones with a little blood. Vet says that this is to be expected for the next little while since the worms are still in there. He is eating and playing but isn't as much his perky self. Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks!
Toby's worried momma!

I would just keep in contact with the Vet as you are doing. If it lasts for more than a few days, though, I would take him back in if it were me.

Wanted to check and see how he is doing?

Ladymay02 · 11-27-2012, 07:51 AM

Thanks for checking up on us. He's been given probiotics and put on scrambled eggs( might be sensitive to chicken) was doing a bit better but just this morning is at it again. Calling the vet in 30 min when they open to see what to do next... Just gotta say. Thank goodnes my carpets are brownish already....

Have you considered giving Heartgard Plus? It's mainly for heartworms, which can be deadly, but it also prevents roundworms and hookworms.

Okay this may be a stupid question, so I apologize beforehand

. But what causes roundworms etc.?

Contaminated soil, water, food, and biting insects can cause roundworms. Also, your dog can give them to you so a preventative for your dog can help prevent you getting them.
