Answer by ALM Does your dog just use one area of the yard to go to the bathroom. If so just pour boiling water in that area and it should kill the eggs. ALso clean up feces promptly after he goes outside and dig up some of the dirt under it so no pieces get left behind.

Question by blahblahblahblah: Dogs-Heartworms and Medication HELP!!?
I live in Evans, GA and own a townhouse. I live in a very nice area. However since it is just my son and I, the dog has to stay outside in the backyard while i’m at work. But i immediately let her in and she sleeps with me. I took her to the vet today and was told she has heartworms. I do not understand how that’s possible. Don’t mosquito’s carry those? She isnt outside at night. The heartworms are treatable but still. Will there ever be a time when i dont have to give her heartworm medication? i love my dog but i’m just coming fresh out of a divorce and have my two year old. I cannot afford this. I would give the dog away but my son is obsessed with that dog. I cant do that to him. Any suggestions?

Answer by Meggy Jo Your dog should have been on PREVENTATIVE heartworm medication to begin with.
Seriously, If you cannot afford to give the dog the care it needs, you need to think about giving him a chance to be with a family who can afford his care.

Answer by ylangylangylang Eww. They can live for YEARS in the soil. Don’t go barefoot. Luckily, if you can say that it’s lucky, the kind that a human gets from dogs produces a rash so you would know you had them and go get treatment as opposed to fostering a bellyful unknowingly.Having said that, I need to go puke now.

Please can you help me by telling me what these head shakes are, and what they are caused by. My female alaskan malamute, now 8 months has had them since she was a pup. She used to only do them whilst lying, buy it has recently developed into her shaking whilst standing. Had a MRI brain scan, and she has a high amount of fluid around her brain, she also has parasites from mother. Given steroids and antibiotics to try and flush out fluids but problem is getting worse. Can you tell me what they are? And if it is permanent? Also is she on the right medication? Thankyou Update: Hi, quick update on? the video, two years on. My vet reccomended a practice in Chester which had an MRI, they scanned her and gave her steroids to cure there findings; which were some cloudiness in her brain and swelling of the brain. We did see an improvement, the head shaked were still occuring, but not as often. During a routing check, our vets also found a parasite which causes seizures in rabbits in he ear. They though it may be affecting her too so gave her some strong worming powder, this cleared the parasites and from then, luckily, she has been well. If you need any help, send me a message. Thanks
