Ahh worms!

My 5 month old has tapeworm and we just used the over the counter med. Worm X plus for small dogs and puppies, I had to give her one pill that she took with no problem they said in about a week the tapeworm should just disapear. If not back to the vet for Daisy. Which is funny becuase she developed the tapeworm just 1 week after getting her deworming from the vet!(kinda odd) I have two cats but they don't have fleas not sure where she got it from. If anyone has ever had this expirence please share and let me know what worked for you.. Thanks

I was going to just buy over-the-counter deworming kit but I don't really know what I'm doing with that stuff so I think tomorrow morning I'm going to call the vet and see if I can just bring in a stool sample (without bringing in Jackson) and they give me the medication.

Anyone know how much a fecal test and the medicine generally cost?

OK, well, yesterday I picked up some of Jackson's poop (gross, I know lol) and put it in a baggie and didn't see any worms. I was going to take it to the vet but since I didn't see any, I decided to wait until his next poop. I did the same thing this morning, don't see any worms. Is it even possible for them to have worms but for them NOT to show up in their poop? I asked my step-dad are you SURE you saw worms when you were watching him? And he just goes "Uh, I mean, I think. Maybe he was something he ate." A whole lot of help right? lol. Jeez.
