Question by TropyWife: Noticed a tapeworm in my dogs feces this AM. He does not have fleas and has always been on Frontline. My other
dog does not have them. They are both indoor shih-tzus and only go out to poop. I will take to Vet on Monday. How do dogs get tapeworms w/no fleas on them?
Can their owners get tapeworms from dog?

Just because there is not a flea at that time, doesn’t mean there never has been. The fleas can still bite your dog, but are then killed by the drug.

I don’t believe you can get the worms from them, but I’m not positive on that.

Get your dog treated.

And in the lawn, after the dog doing his stuff, sray it with the hose really well. It will much up, and it can be used as fertilizer. Same with pee. You have to add water, or it will eat the grass.

White worm-like things in dog’s feces?

Alan — Fri, 21 May 2010 06:27:56 +0000

I’ve been observing white 1/4 white worm-like things in my dog’s feces. They don’t appear to be moving, and they’re not consistent. They also seem to come out of his anus at night, his bed sometimes has shriveled up little versions of them. They look like small grains of rice. I brought a sample into the vet for a fecal test, and they said he doesn’t have worms. Any ideas on what this could be?

Can A Parvo Shot Cause A False Positive On A Parvo Feces Test?

Alan — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 10:02:31 +0000

I got a 12 week old puppy from the human society yesterday and they gave him a parvo shot along with his other normal puppy shots (?) and a heart worm shot. We got him home and the first hour or so he was very playful and energetic but after that he slept the rest of the day. He only ate and drank very little. During the night he threw up 2-3 times and has no other symptoms. This morning we to him to the Vet and they did a feces parvo test. It came back positive. We took him back to the humane society but they told us the parvo shot can cause the (false) positive test results. I called another animal clinic, for a second opinion, and they agreed with the humane society in that it could be just the shots effecting him and that a false positive on the parvo test is likely.
I have searched the internet and I can’t find any information on the false positive after the shots. If anybody has any information please let me know. For now we are keeping him for a couple of days to see how he feels or acts. I really want to save this dog but don’t have the money for parvo treatment.
Thanks for your help.

My Boyfriend Has Excessive Mucus In His Feces, What Could It Be?

Alan — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 04:02:24 +0000

After we got a puppy, we both started having symptoms of aggressive cramps while defecating. We both examined our feces, and I made sure it wasn’t moving, OR worms(because we took our dog to the vet, and she had hookworms–she is done with antibiotics, and is clean of worms). My symptoms went away in 3 days. He still has his and frankly, his looks a lot more gross than mine did. Looks very white and mucus-like. I’ve done the research. I know it’s nothing something he ate, for we eat the same meals and I dont have it any more. It has been going on for about 1 week. Any suggestions? I can only assume it’s infection, or bacterial disease.

My Dog Just Ate Some Nasty Stray Cat Feces. What Should I Do?

Alan — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 10:04:45 +0000

He ate a little of it before I even knew what he was doing. There are a lot of stray cats around here and I’m concerned that he’ll get worms from it. He is on Heartgard, of course, but that doesn’t cover all types of worms. Should I have him fecal tested right away, or just look for symptoms? I think some types of intestinal worms don’t have symptoms though, right? I’m confused.

Can Dog Get Worms Over And Over If Feces Is In Public Place Like Apartment?

Alan — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 16:07:39 +0000

My 11 yr old pom is exhibiting symptoms of Worms and we are taking her to the vet. She is lethargic, visible sore back side and some vomiting. We gave her an OTC med and she was better yesterday, but just vomited some yellow foam.
We live in an apartment and there is feces outside from where people do not clean up. I am 9 months pregnant and REALLY worried about a newborn picking up worms from the dog. I would think that she will keep getting them over and over from being out in the yard and walking thru all the s***! How dangerous is this to a baby (and us) and will she keep getting it over and over?
