Question by karosyrup: What are the symptoms that a dog has a tape worm?
Her appetite has changed recently. For a few days, she had a much smaller appetite, and now she has a bigger appetite again. And I have been noticing some rice like stuff in her poop. And how hard is it to treat if she does have a tape worm?

The rice things in the poop is probably tapeworms. I bet if you look REALLY close, they move slightly. Classic symptom of tape worms. It’s easy to treat, just a visit to the vet, or if you already have a vet and your pet is otherwise healthy, you can just take a sample of the poop for them to examine. If they’re big enough that you can see them in the feces, they won’t need to do a fecal exam, they’ll just prescribe a pill for about and then do another in a few weeks. You’ll then have to have the dog tested to make sure they’re completely gone.

Your dog probably also has at least a mild case of fleas. Dogs get tapeworms when they eat a flea that is infected. No joke. You’ll need to get your dog on advantage of frontline also to prevent him from getting the worms again.

I have a 13 week old Shih Tzu puppy. We got him 9 days ago. He had his first shots on May 8 by the breeder’s vet. I just gave him his second shot last night. I bought the vaccine (Duramune Max 5 Cv-k) at a feed store. I had called our vet locally and they wanted $58 (to be seen and for the vaccine) so I thought I’d save some money and do it myself which I have done Several times with my dogs as well as my mom’s dogs. I have however, never had a small breed. I had read before hand not to give Lepto to small dogs or puppies, so I skipped that and thought this shot would be ok. Puppy has been fine up until a few hours ago when he vomited yellow liquid, no food in the vomit. He has seemed a little less energetic today, but not lethargic or anything. He is still cheerful, and playing, just a little more sleepy and not as crazy bouncy. He’s playing with a squeeky toy right now. Anyways, I freaked out thinking that maybe he is having a reaction to his vaccine. His stool is still normal, and he hasn’t vomited again. It has been a few hours since he vomited. I did start him on Pedialyte just to help him out a bit. I called our emergency vet and they wanted to see him/test him for Parvo at a cost of almost $300 so I decided to wait to see if he vomited again or got diarhea…so far so good. Does this mean that his vommiting (one time) was just a freak thing? There was nothing in his vomite (like paper or chunks of anything that would make me believe he ate something) he has been wormed (once by the breeder’s vet)….Am I just freaking out? If it was Parvo would he have gotten worse by now? He hasn’t been anywhere (not even in our backyard) because we were waiting until he got more vaccines. He is trained to go on his puppy pads….I’m just wondering if I am being to laxed about this?? I just don’t want to jump the gun and spend at least another $300 if it’s really not necessary, but I don’t know much about the onset of Parvo…
