tapeworm??
i found out that my dog has
worms. We are taking her to
the vet tomorrow morning. it
looks like tapeworm.... thin
and white. Is tapeworm hard to
get rid of? what does it do to
my dog? How does she get hurt
by it? Will she be okay? I
have alot of questions, sorry.
Thanks for all the answers in
advance!
also, she had worms before, i
think round?, and we got rid
of them. She also had a worm
vac after that, doesn't this
mean that she shouldn't have
gotten worms again?? she is

My dog had tapes. They get a pill and it kills the tapes and they poop out the remains. It was no trouble at all for the dog and he was much better for removing them. They rob the dog of his nutrition. It was only trouble for me as I saw them get pooped out and that was gross...., but the dog didn't mind at all. |

Will I see tapeworm's segments I just found out that the 8
weeks kitten I adopted from
shelter has tapeworm. I gave
her the first oral treatment
from vet. Will the tapeworm be
killed right away? Will I see
the rice-like worm segments
again? Also, my kitten has
tapeworm, does that mean she
has flea too? I haven't seen
any flea yet, but do I need to
give her any flea control
medicine?

Yes, she has fleas too. The most common way for a cat to get intestinal tape worms is from eating a FLEA (a host) that has eaten a tapeworm egg. The host animal has to be eaten. The most common way for a cat to (or human) to get tapeworms is to ingest the host (flea that has ingested a tapeworm egg)... not just the egg. The flea eating the egg activates the egg... which then hatches in your cat's intestine after the cat ingests the flea. Tape worm eggs do not activate to become larvae until they are eaten by a host, and then that larvae must again be swallowed to become a tape in the end recipient. You can buy Capstar and Frontline Plus at drsfostersmith.com . The Capstar will kill all the fleas on your cat almost instantly and the frontline will prevent re-infestation. Use the Capstar right away. It will kill all fleas on your cat with in an hour. It is imperative that you do not skip this. Frontline (or advantage, revolution, promeris, etc.) is only effective if the flea bites the cat. Fleas have a 3 week lifespan and only feed for a few days of those three weeks, so you must use Capstar to kill all live fleas on your cat. After you Capstar add on the Frontline Plus and it will keep fleas off your cat for 30 days. Any eggs that hatch will be killed when they feed by the Frontline. Refrontline every 30 days. No vet visit required and totally safe. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/ product/prod_display.cfm?c=326 1+1991+7160&pcatid=7160 Frontline contains fipronil, which spreads via the body oils killing fleas within 24 hours and ticks within 48 hours.

You can use FRONTLINE flea and tick control once a month and it's completely waterproof.

How do i know that the I discovered that my cat had
tapeworm after looking at his
stool and noticing the
segments. I had given him a
medicine for the tapeworm. And
now i dont know if it is
completely gone. It has only
been one dose and i dont know
how long it should take to
kick in. I also noticed a
longer segment of the worm
hanging out of his butt, and i
want to know if that is all of
it so i can stop giving him
the medicine.

It often takes two treatments...you will just have to watch carefully and see. Keep him flea-free...that's where tapeworms come from! |
