roundworms can be picked up from flea eggs, and other dogs stool, where theres one theres more, because shes got a heart condition take her to the vets with a stool sample to make sure they are roundworms firstly then to get the correct medication and dosage that would be safe.

Question by rchlpack: I just found a small white worm on my cat, right underneath his tail. Can my dog catch them from my cat?
The worm looked like a thin maggot. Does anyone know what kind it is? And do I have to take my cat to the vet, or can I get an over the counter med. Can my dog catch it? If I give my dog medication for worms, but doesn’t have worms, will it harm her?
Any info is greatly appreciated.

Question by American Eskimo Luver: I am getting a rescue dog who just recovered from heart worm?
So I am getting a dog from the shelter and he had stage four heart worm, they didn’t think he would make it, but he did. Then he had baby heart worms and we got to see him and everything and they said he could only go on short walks while he had the baby worms. Well now that he is cured and everything, will he always have to only go on short walks or can he go on a long walk and possibly a short jog?
It has been like a week.

I use to work as a vet tech and my dog actually ended up with heart worms…we treated her and she is fine, lazy but fine! Long walks shouldn’t be a problem..how long has it been?
