She’s been scooting. I know that can be anal sacs needing drained. The vet did that a couple weeks ago, and said really they didn’t even need it.
The dog was still scooting when she got home. I also had a worm test done, and it came back negative. Sometimes she eats grass too, which I know can be a sign of stomach issues. She vomits once and a while too. I’m going to have another vet look at her, just wondered if anyone had any natural remedies or if it sounded like anything in particular. It cost me around $400 last time I had this checked (2 weeks ago) and it will be another month before I can afford that again. I’ve tried cleaning the area with vinegar which helps some.

Can Humans Safely Take Dog Worm Tablets (like Drontal)?

I think I may have picked up Liver Flukes when I was in India for 6 months until April, but because I live in Valencia, Spain, I cannot get treatment or prescription medication (yes I know it’s supposed to be all one happy Europe, but try telling the Valencian health authorities that).
I have looked up the symptoms and they seem to match Liver Fluke, and that seems common in the east. I read that in Thailand people take Praziquantel every year as a matter of course on the assumption they will be infected, but I can’t find it for sale on the Internet. Anyone know where I could buy some?
I know prevention is better than cure, but without analysis I don’t think the right medication can do any harm if no worms are present?

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?
