My dog has worms

hey give her some diatamasious earth in her food. that will kill the worms. also you could also go get her wormed-- i think you can get some good wormer for not too much at wally world--shes gonna be ok

I called the vet and they gave me a pill to kill the worms. I really hope it works as it suppose to. She said she could've swallowed a flea so i bought the flea pills that last for 30 days. My dog is always scratching even after baths. IDK if it's fleas that she has that bad or if she just have bad skin.

Thanks Dyan for your response.

no problem---let us know if it gets resolved.

Deffinately call the vet and see what they suggest. She'll be ok but she needs to be de-wormed. Have you had her tested for other parasites such as heart worms? The reason I ask is because not only are heart worms deadly if left untreated, but also if she does have heart worms and you give her certain types of de-wormers, even intestinal wormers, it can cause lung and heart problems. When hubby and I found Boudreaux, we took him to the vet and the lady asked does he have worms? We said we were not sure as we had only found him recently, but he was emaciated so we did suspect it. She then asked if we had given him any type of de-wormer? We said no, and she said ok good because de-wormers can have adverse reactions with heart worms! As it turned out Boudreaux was positive for both intestinal and heart worms. He was fine of course, he just had to stay at the vets office for a few days for treatment. Anyways...point is, if you haven't had her fully tested do so soon and begin using monthly prevenitives. Also, regarding your money situation, alot of vets will set it up so that you can pay them in monthly installments, so its worth asking about. Good luck!

Thanks for your respsonse LeLe.

I had her tested in January. They suggest testing her once a year. I will def invest in worm preventatives and flea preventatives. Her bill wasn't as high as I thought it would be from her last visit when she had to stay over night last week. Everything worked out okay. I just want her to stay healthy!

I'm so glad that everything worked out ok!

That is what Tank had (I found out last night when one crawled right out of hi rear end) It was a tapeworm. He had to take apill too, my poor little guy sounds like yours one thing after another. But the pill was only $12. That wasnt too bad.

yeh I paid the pill like $12 too. I also got a pill for fleas which was like $10.

I dont know where in to world he could have got the tape worm, my vet said it is from eating something else infected with it, but not poop( Which Tank enjoys ) she said maybe fleas he ate, but he has never had fleas since I had him.

THe only thing I could come up with is that he has had the tapework since before I got him. Poor thing probably had them for over half his little life.

ick peeve has been going on walks and picking up turds --ick im trying to break him of that

Tanks favorite is the kitty litter box... gross!

yah gosh--what is it with these guys and poop---must be a guy thing lol

Lol thats it, it is those disgusting guys my female dog never had any problems with poop, and my boyfriend's suister has a male dog who is 3 and still eats poop no matter what they do to stop him


Just some more proof that girls are better than guys

lol---but these guys we love no matter what lol

Yeah I will ove him no matter how much poop he eats

lol yeah but i have to admit---he aint kissing me with that tounge lol--not for a while anyway lol

Oh no, after a nice snack of poop I give him afew hours and some other food before he can kiss me with that mouth

lol yeah--maybe a gargle with listerene J/K lol

I have thought about getting some puppy toothpaste for him because he is always trying to kiss me right after that, kissing is his favorite things to do
