Mt dog is 6 weeks old.female..It has really long white worms in her poop.what should I do?? Is ther anyway I can treat her at home?
Answers:
Unfortunatly, most over the counter wormers are for puppies slightly older. You are probably better off going to your vet. Most wormers arent expensive, but your vet will have a better idea what a safe (and effective) de-wormer would be for a pup that age.
Your vet can also then make sure you are getting the correct wormer for the particular species of worm your dog has.
Shanna
feed her a little bit of tobacco or get worm medicine
omg when she poops the worms come out with that poop if thats so u need to go to the vet and get that shyt check out that grosh
buy some worming tablets and make sure you worm your dog as often as the packet states.
You need to take her to a VET ASAP. She can die cause of this. Just call your nearest vet and ask how much is too see her or check online for medications.
Never use OTC worm meds - you need to take her to a vet for a proper diagnosis. Vets go to school for a long time and use proper diagnostic procedures %26 SAFER meds - if you care about your doggie, do it the right way. Otherwise expect any other result, which could be a toxic reaction, anemia or even death. Not to mention, do you want to catch the worms too? Wash your hands well.
If you have fleas on the dog and in the house you'll have to deal with that issue as well - again, never use OTC meds for fleas!!
your going have to take her to the vet sorry i think he is the best person that can tell you what to do and if you can treat her at home all dogs are not the same so just take her and see what the vet has to say good luck and be safe
They do have some stuff on the market for worms.
But have you taken her to the vet for her shots? Cuz they do the de-worming at certain weeks.
sounds like roundworms, take to the VET to make sure and get correct dosage of Rx.
You have to take a sample of her stool to the vet for analysis. Even if they see worms they will want to run further tests on her stool to make sure there are no other problems. Make an appointment as soon as possible though. Worms can really mess up your dog's insides.
You can give your dog tabacco with her food. She might through up a little but it gets rid of the worms.
Most likely tapeworms.take a stool sample to your vet and have him confirm it. One treatment of Drontal Plus would work (available from your vet) and your "worm woes" would be over.
Our doggy tested postive for roundworm and tapeworm and within the day was back to norm.
Please don't try to treat the dog at home and don't give her Tabasco. Over the counter medications are usually infective and only work for one specific type of worm. She may also have others worms that you can't see, such as hookworms. Please take her to the vet and have her wormed properly. She should also be getting her first round of vaccines when she gets wormed.
Did you recently take her to the vet ? Did they give her a liquid medicine to take by mouth? If not, then call your vet and tell them what you are seeing. They will probably ask you to bring in a sample for them to look at under the microscope as different types of worms are treated with different types of medicines. Good Luck
Most puppies at that age have worms which they get from their mother. You need to take the puppy to the vet as she should have shots now and the vet can deworm her. Sounds like roundworms to me. Do not attempt to worm her yourself as she is too young.
To treat her SAFELY and EFFECTIVELY take her and a fecal sample to a vet. Over the counter wormers DO NOT WORK and can cause the DEATH of your pup.
The people that are advising you to feed tobacco to your dog should learn what is harmful to dogs. Tobacco can kill a pup.
Items to avoid Reasons to avoid
Alcoholic beverages Can cause intoxication, coma, and death.
Baby food Can contain onion powder, which can be toxic to dogs. (Please see onion below.) Can also result in nutritional deficiencies, if fed in large amounts.
Bones from fish, poultry, or other meat sources Can cause obstruction or laceration of the digestive system.
Cat food Generally too high in protein and fats.
Chocolate, coffee, tea, and other caffeine Contain caffeine, theobromine, or theophylline, which can be toxic and affect the heart and nervous systems.
Citrus oil extracts Can cause vomiting.

Macadamia nuts Contain an unknown toxin, which can affect the digestive and nervous systems and muscle.
Marijuana Can depress the nervous system, cause vomiting, and changes in the heart rate.
Milk and other dairy products Some adult dogs and cats do not have sufficient amounts of the enzyme lactase, which breaks down the lactose in milk. This can result in diarrhea. Lactose-free milk products are available for pets.
Moldy or spoiled food, garbage Can contain multiple toxins causing vomiting and diarrhea and can also affect other organs.
Mushrooms Can contain toxins, which may affect multiple systems in the body, cause shock, and result in death.
Onions and garlic (raw, cooked, or powder) Contain sulfoxides and disulfides, which can damage red blood cells and cause anemia. Cats are more susceptible than dogs. Garlic is less toxic than onions.
Persimmons Seeds can cause intestinal obstruction and enteritis.
Pits from peaches and plums Can cause obstruction of the digestive tract.
Potato, rhubarb, and tomato leaves; potato and tomato stems Contain oxalates, which can affect the digestive, nervous, and urinary systems. This is more of a problem in livestock.
Raw eggs Contain an enzyme called avidin, which decreases the absorption of biotin (a B vitamin). This can lead to skin and hair coat problems. Raw eggs may also contain Salmonella.
Raw fish Can result in a thiamine (a B vitamin) deficiency leading to loss of appetite, seizures, and in severe cases, death. More common if raw fish is fed regularly.
Salt If eaten in large quantities it may lead to electrolyte imbalances.
String Can become trapped in the digestive system; called a "string foreign body."
Sugary foods Can lead to obesity, dental problems, and possibly diabetes mellitus.
Table scraps (in large amounts) Table scraps are not nutritionally balanced. They should never be more than 10% of the diet. Fat should be trimmed from meat; bones should not be fed.
Tobacco Contains nicotine, which affects the digestive and nervous systems. Can result in rapid heart beat, collapse, coma, and death.
Yeast dough Can expand and produce gas in the digestive system, causing pain and possible rupture of the stomach or intestines.
Time to visit your vet. Take a fresh poopy sample with and have them check it. They will give you meds to give the dog for de-worming (almost all puppies go through this). The vet will do a follow up after to make sure there won't be another round of worms.
THEN GO FISHING
