This question is for people who who really know what they are talking about. Of course, she is going to the vet tomorrow. Today I noticed a small white thing in my year old dog’s eye. I took it out with a tissue and it looked like a tiny worm (smaller than a grain of rice). It wasn’t moving, but I poked at it and it was squishy. If it was a worm, it was dead. She has recently been treated for tapeworms and has no worms in her stool. I will treat her for the tapeworms again in about a week. Has anyone ever had this happen? Vet techs or people with animal experience, what gives?

Our puppy just passed worms in her stool. We just got her and just took her to the vet today. She got her ringworm med just today. (She won’t eat it, so I have to contact the vet Monday). Anyway, what did you do when you found out your dog had worms and what advice can you give me? Is it common?

I have a 5.5lb, 1yr4mo old male Chihuahua. I took him in for his annual check up and when they did the fecal test they found he had roundworms and FLUKE eggs in his stool. I religiously give him his Interceptor medicine (to prevent heartworm and various worms) but he still had roundworm. What I am concerned about is the FLUKE. In my area the FLUKE (worm) is very very rare and the vet doesn’t know where he picked it up. I have researched and know all about the trasmission through fecal matter…….my little guy is super clean, very well behaved- he doesn’t dig in the dirt, is only outside to go potty only rarely trys to eat stuff (like pieces of bark) off the ground. I closely supervise him and take things out of his mouth he isn’t supposed to have. He does NOT eat raw fish and is not exposed to lake water etc. (some of the possible ways to get Fluke) He is being treated with medicine right now. (He had no symptoms of infection) Please tell me your dogs experience!!! Are they healthy?
