Question by AcdRed: Has anyone ever used parsley to clear intestinal parasites from dogs?
Has anyone ever had parsley water clear their dogs of intestinal parasites? I just read this online and I have never heard of it before.
Just for clarification… My dogs are not having any problems it’s just something I read. I would never try it.

There are a lot of these holistic methods of treatments out there, but very few of them are very effective. I also don’t think the taste of parsley would agree with a dog. The best thing to do is go get a dose of dewormer (strongid, drontal, droncit, etc.) from your veterinarian. They’re fairly cheap, and will do a much better job, and keep your dog much healthier.

Question by VEGGIE LOVE: Anyone KNOW the clear cut signs of heartworm in dogs?
Anyone know the clear cut signs that your dog may/has heartworm? Are there signs or is the only way to know if they do to take them and have blood drawn?

Are all dogs born with heartworms?
Or do you know any websites that will answer my question? I am very new to the internet and it takes me at least 30 minutes to MAYBE find what I’m looking for. It’s too late to call the vet too.

If you open the dogs stomach and they pop out, thats a clear sign.

My husband and I adopted a dog from the local animal shelter last week. I took him to the vet just for a check up the day after we brought him home. He had hook worms and whip worms. I’ve given him the 3 day treatment for the worms already. He’s eating and drinking normally and doesn’t seem overly tired or lethargic, but late last night he started vomiting/coughing/gagging. He starts with a deep almost chesty cough and gags then throws up a white foam/clear liquid. Every once in a while he also coughs up a thicker mucus almost and his nose runs quite a bit. He’s also breathing a little heavily, but he’s done that for as long as we’ve had him. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. We’re going to the vet first thing in the morning, but any advice on how I can treat his symptoms temporarily or help make him more comfortable would be great. Any insight as to what this might be would be appreciated as well so we’re not totally unprepared at the dr’s tomorrow. Thanks so much!
