worms Admin...if this is in the wrong place please move.... Hi everyone!! It's been a while since I've been on...well actually I posted something a week ago and haven't gotten an answer...and I do come on a read posts...anyway...life has gotten busy and I just haven't had the time to sit and read/respond to posts....I do understand that this is a HUGE forum and posts do get pushed out quickly...very frustrating sometime....Here is my question How can my little furgirl (4 yrs old) get worms when she hasn't been outside since last summer?? I noticed one in her poop tonight...bringing it to the vet tomorrow to get tested....Gonna get Sadie poop too...If one has them I'm sure the other one does too...but HOW??!! She isn't a poop eater (I know...gross!) and I feed them good food...anyone have any ideas how this happened? Thanks in advance! |
Sorry you didn't get an answer to your first post. Sometimes posts in the General section get buried. Tapeworms are caused by flea larvae. I'm guessing that's what you saw. Tapeworm |

I thought fleas caused round worm? (I'm assuming that is what they are. saw one and it wasn't the size of a piece of rice...was a little longer). but the girls don't have any fleas...I have know idea how she could have gotten them.. and yes...I know posts can get buried...quite quickly. thank you again for your response! |

Round worms are long, like spaghetti. Your vet will be able to tell what the worms are. |

Eggs can come in on shoes. Dewormers are pretty safe. I woulnd't worry about using them. What kind of heartworm preventative are they on? |
