Question by MarieLR: Question about tapeworms in dogs. Found rice like moving particles on my dogs tail last night.?
I know it is tapeworms. She is 5 months old and I called my vet and she is going in for a treatment at 5:15 today. My question is what must I do to my home. I already vacummed the house and sofas, washed all the sheets and covers (she is a cuddle bug) and mopped the floor. Is there any other steps I should take when I get home to protect my family and my dog from reinfestation? I do realize I may be overdoing this, but those little moving particles of rice grossed me out. Also, please tell me what the vet will give my puppy.
I adopted her from a Humane Society on Feb. 4th. I have NEVER given her raw food. She has only ever eaten high quality dry puppy food in my home, in addition to dog biscuits for training purposes.

Pick up all the dog poo in the yard – the egg sacks (the rice-like segments you are seeing) lay dormant in the poo and get “reingested” by other animals eating grass…and the tapes are passed to them who also poo in the yard and your puppy or kids run through the mess, get some on there hands..feet and the lifecycle continues. Also – dogs get tapeworms from ingesting fleas – you need to treat your home/yard for fleas as well. Unless you have a rabid infestation of fleas in your home you should be pretty safe – it sounds like you have done a good job cleaning up. Make sure you are using bleach and hot water to clean. And make sure your kids are washing their hands after every time they play with the puppy. Also don’t let the puppy lick them on the mouth.

Your vet will give your puppy a little pill called Drontal or Droncit and send you home with another tablet to give him in 3 weeks – that should clear it up.

Question by mario r: I just found out my dog has whipworms, but I also have two cats at home. Can they get whipworms from my dog?
We did a fecal test on my dog and we just found out she has whipworms, so we are taking her in to get a dewormer. They told us she picked it up outside. I also have two indoor cats. Can they get whipworms from my dogs? Should I get them checked too???…How serious is this and will my dog keep getting whipworms now? I guess since she got it outside, can she keep on getting them even after she gets treated?

Answer by DP
Yeah, even tho you treat the dog for worms, and get rid of them, If she comes into contact again, then she’ll pick them up again.
