Sorry, random thought.

If you have established any kind of relationship with a vet you may be able to just call them and go pick the medicine up. The last time one of my babies got tapeworm I just called and the medicine to dose both my dogs was only $15.00 but I've known my vet for quite a while.

That baby really needs to be treated. Tapeworms are not that expensive to get rid of. They will give you the tablets for her and if you have any other dogs they also need to be treated. Beds need to be washed and clean, these things are horrible and nasty. One flea is all it takes. Please get your baby help. Foster and Smith and some of the other pet supply places have the pills you can order but you need to check with your vet and let them know if they are okay for your baby.
