Dog Worms in dog poop?

There are different kinds of worms that dogs can get and if a female dog has worms when she is pregnant,she can pass those worms onto her unborn puppies.

There are some over the counter medications that are available but some of them can be too harsh for your dog and I have heard of instances where a dog has died because of harsh medicine.

I doubt that you would have to have your dog put to sleep,medication for this problem is pretty inexpensive.

Cut some of your expense by taking a worm infested stool sample with you to the vet. . . then they don't have to do the blood test to determine what kind of worm the dog has.(It is the blood tests that they do that tends to bump up the price of the vet visit.)

This is something you need to do soon because a dog can be eating and drinking and can appear to be OK but all the while the dog does not gain weight as the worms are taking the nutrients from the dog and if your dog is 11yrs old she has enough going on with her aging process and doesn't need this troubling problem of worms.

You will be surprised,get those worms cleared up and you may notice a happier,friskier,shinier dog.

Yes you should go to the vet and take a stool sample with you ASAP. Also part of routine care is to take in a stool sample once or twice a year and also have a heartworm test done once a year, the vet will draw blood. There is alot more to the health of a dog than eating, pooping and peeing.

ew. worms in poop are bad. they could be tapeworms,roundworms,heartworms etc. first try finding a pet shelter where they could recommend a good medicine. try giving the medicine for a couple of weeks (just put the pill in a spoon of peanut butter the dog will never taste it) and if the worms stay you go to a vet. there is nothing wrong with the way your dog is pooping, peeing, eating etc. its like a human getting a cold. cant do much about it.

I think you might need to take her to the vet... worms in poop are usually signs of a tapework infestation, or so i've heard. She could have gotten them from another dog... either with direct interaction, or by smelling/licking poop. But don'tworry... if you take care of this problem early on, you won't have to put her to sleep.

Best of luck =)

Although dogs shouldn't be attributed with having human characteristics, they are intelligent enough to be able to understand the concept of, and execute, certain actions that their owners require of them - if these actions are asked in a way that dogs find rewarding. So, with this rule in mind, owners have to be clever as well and find a way of training their dog that actually works quickly and efficiently. The eBook I wrote explains how to achieve this ideal - how to speak “dog” so that you’re able to communicate effectively with your four-legged friend.

As with any training, the best time to start is as soon as you get your new pet. The fundamentals for successful housetraining are:

- Crate training is very important so it should be mastered.

- A schedule is required for feeding and exercising.

- Be vigilant and patient throughout the training period.

House training is most likely every dog owner’s top concern. And it should begin as soon as possible. That's the very first day your dog comes into your home. If you've adopted a new furry friend and spend months in the home without aiding him/her achieve success when it comes to training then s/he’s going to set a precedence that you now need to change. So, concentrate on prevention as opposed to cure. House training comes down to one

rather simple skill - being a good dog time manager. And this means managing your pup's time so that you let them have as few chances as possible to make house training blunders.

Tapeworms! Yes you need to go to the vet. Over the counter medications are not strong enough to kill these worms. Deworming is basic care just like vaccinations, and should be done as regularly.

she has worms, and I would take her to a vet to she what kind of worms. I don't think there is a over the counter medication for dogs worms. I hope you and your dog good luck now and in the future.

Tapeworm! Call your vet and tell them you need Cestex. They'll need to know how much your dog weighs for proper dosage.

Get your dog on a flea prevention program. There are many topical products. We use K-9 Advantix

If your dog has behavioural problems and you want to train him, you have to follow this online course http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=315

I have been using it for years

Hope it helps.

First of all you have no business owning an animal if you would put it to sleep because you don't want to pay for it's care.

Second of all your dog needs to be dewormed twice a year EVERY year. Since you've not been properly caring for your dog it's possible the dog already has heart worms as well.

Take you dog to the vet immediately and get the drontal dewormer, and a heartworm test.

In the future do not take responsibility for a life you are not willing to protect.
