Hungry Western Skink

The ravenous predator, E. Skiltonianus, bites the hand which feeds it, then runs off with the worm like a dog with a new toy.

how to kill tapeworms in a pregnant dog?

Question by violet: how to kill tapeworms in a pregnant dog?
My female dog has tapeworm and is 40 days pregnant. Any ideas on how to get rid of them before I ask the vet?

More than likely, your vet will tell you that there is not anything that you can do until after whelping. Unfortunately, there are no products on the market that are approved for worming a pregnant or nursing dog. :(

Busy Gilli with a look from Doreen :)

Serafina serafinaballerina.blogspot.com and Doreen httphave been in foster care with Illinois Birddog Rescue-illinoisbirddogrescue.org for about 2 years now. They were rescued off of a mountain in Arkansas where they had been living in squalor. When they first came in they were both in need of major vetting and TLC from their years of neglect, poor living conditions and over breeding. They didn’t know what love was- but now they do!! Serafina is the most animated of the pair and has a ton of personality. Doreen will always be quiet and laid back in the home; she certainly deserves to feel safe after all she went through before she came into rescue. Gilligan http was rescued from a shelter in Southern Illinois. He had suffered a lot of neglect and malnutrition and we weren’t sure if he was going to make it. Not only was he loaded with intestinal parasites, but he also had a severe case of heartworm disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever and probably also survived Parvo. Gilli definitely showed some brain damage from all he went through- but now he is healthy and is sweet as they come. Follow up chiropractic appointments have helped with his brain function and as he is food motivated, he should be a fun dog to train for someone who can overlook his handicap.

Enjoy

Question by iujess84: My dog has 2 nickel-sized red circles with a dot in the middle on her stomach. Does anyone know what this is?
It looks as if someone took a car cigarrette lighter and burned two perfect circles on her stomach, only each circle has a red dot in the middle. I’ve been researching and I’m really confused. I think it might be ringworm but I’ve worked as a vet tech for a couple of years and ringworm in dogs usually are circular bald patches of hair, in humans it looks more like what my dog has right now (red circles). Lyme disease is not prevalent in my area (South Bend, Indiana), or at least thats what I’ve been told. I worked for a vet that never vaccinated for Lymes disease unless the dog was a completely outdoors in the woods kind of dog because she said its not really an issue here. My girl is a little Boston terrier and we definitely go to the park and on long walks, but she’s not outdoors most of the time or anything. I’ve just never seen something like this before. They are perfect outlines of circles. My other dog, an English Bulldog, had a really bad allergic reaction to something biting her a few days ago and her face swelled up and she got hives and I took her to the vet and she got a shot and some meds and now she is better. Is it possible for the same thing to have bitten this dog and she is having a different reaction to it? Also, I took all the dogs for a walk about a week ago down the East Race and they went swimming in the St. Joseph River, which a lot of people say is not the cleanest of rivers. Could that have anything to do with this?
How do I load a picture? I only have a cell phone to take a picture so it’s not the best quality but I have a picture.
I think I figured out how to put a picture on here.
