| Can worms cause vomiting? Gross I posted on here about Chachi vomiting all week, and I've had hi m to the vet and fhe found nothing. So this evening he pooped and I went out to see if he had diarrehea, and there was what looked like a long string, so I got a stick and picked at it and it was not a string, it broke apart. Gross. So could that be a round worm and could that have caused the vomiting. Are OTC worming medications effective? Can I just get some from Petco? and sholuld I give it to both Ollie and Chachi? |

| Do you have your baby on heart guard or another medician like that. If so that should take care of the round worms. So I have been told. When my big dog had worms the vet said to worm them all. They can spread. I got some meds from the vet. I gave them one dose on a Saturday and two weeks later the second dose. Years ago i used to use OTC wormers with no problem, but with the little yorkies I would rather get the meds from the vet to be safe. Val |

| Chachi has had worms before but he didnt vomit. I would worm them both. I dont know how effective the wormers you get at Petsmart are. My vet gave Chachi meds for it. Come to think about he didnt give us worm medicine for jewels too so maybe you dont need worm them both

| My vet had said to make sure i did all three of them. But to tell you the truth my vet didn't know much. And yes my big dog did vomit when he had worms. Then I had found a worm in Babybear's stool. So you just might want to be safe then sorry. It is up to you really. Val |

| Yes, worms can make them vomit. I had a cat and a dog that both vomitted because of worms. The cat that I rescued was so bad that when she vomitted it was full of worms. I got her treated right away and she is now worm free.

| Worming Your Dogs I worm all my animals-cats, dogs, horses-with Strongid T. It is a liquid that is sold in 60ml -for Americans, approximately 1/4 cup-and you need only 1 ml for every ten pounds of dog, so the whole bottle would do 600 pounds of dog. For cats, the dosage is 1ml for every five pounds. When our bitch had a caesarian, we were told to worm the pups at two weeks, then ten days later. This medication is so safe, that even 20 times the dosage will not hurt them; it has been tested many, many times. To worm the dogs and cats, I use a syringe with ml measurements on it; just draw it up into the syringe, open the animal's mouth and squirt it in. For some dogs, just put it on their food; my Beagle would lick it off a spoon, as it is caramel flavoured. This is much cheaper than going to the vet, and is usually the same medication the vet will give you, one bottle will last years for a small Yorkie, and here, the bottle is about $18.00-probably much cheaper across the border! |

| yes worms can make them vomit...you should see your vet for this just to verify it with a fecal and determine what kind of worms they are...strongid will treat strongyle type worms but will not treat tape worms which is what you'll usuall see in the feces |

| Types of Worms Unless your dog catches rodents, it is not likely to have tapeworms, but roundworms, hookworms, bloodworms, etc; Strongid T will remove these. If tapeworms are present, you are more likely to find small segments tangled in the dog's hair around its anus; you can see them move if you look closely. Tapeworms must be treated with another dewormer that you can get from the veterinarian. The worms that are expelled with feces are usually roundworms, and if an animal has many, it can be quite disgusting to see. I have wormed small puppies that were not wormed while on their dam, and it was sad to see what their little pot bellies contained. It was also amazing to see them grow, once the parasite-load was removed. |

Also dogs contract tapeworm by licking and swallowing fleas that are carrying tapeworm eggs not through rodents so if they have fleas or ever had them then they may have tapeworms...the easiest and safest way to solve this is to contact your vet i see dogs all the time at work with tapeworms its easily treated Last edited by lucylola; 09-16-2006 at 09:42 PM. | |

| I use panicur for worms and yes dogs can get tapes from rodents but also from fleas. Yorkis love to chase frogs and mice. 2 of my girls found a mouse hole in the back yard one day and I thought they were going to dig to China(didn't know it was a mouse hole till they started pulling the nest out.) I've used strongidT but have had better results from panicure (labled Safeguard)over the counter for horses. Give it in the mouth for 3 days and NO WORMS.

| Tapeworms from Fleas I didn't make it clear in my post, I realize, that the tapeworms do not come from the rodents, per say, but from the fleas the rodents carry. The tapeworm cycle must pass through the rodents, to the fleas, then to another host that ingests the tapeworm eggs with the fleas. I was not attempting to say to not go to the vet if you are worried, but that a normal part of having dogs is de-worming, and for the most, de-worming with Strongid T is an excellent way of keeping your dogs healthy. If you can afford it, and prefer to, go to the vet for the medication s/he prescribes; the main thing is that the dogs are parasite-free. |
