Dog Heartworm Treatment

Question by Valerie: There is a worm-like thing coming out of my dog’s back leg. Can anyone help me?
There is a worm like creature or cyst coming out of my dogs upper back leg. I’ve never seen anything like it before. We thought it was a tick and my mom tried to burn it off but it only got bloody. It’s about an inch long and is not very thick, about a centimeter. I have looked all over online trying to find anything that it could be. Can anyone help me?

i would get your dog to the vet, it could even be tendons from his leg and burning it will only make you dog suffer…

Get him checked out asap

My 7 months old puppy has a bad case of tape worm. The first dose of medication didn’t work. The vet gave him a second dose and said that if it does not work we have to put him down. We just got him about 3 months ago to replace another dog that we had to put down due to neurological problems. We also have a tea cup yorky that can not live alone which is why we replaced the first dog. I love this dog so much and I do not think I could handle holding another dog as the vet injects it. Please help.
