Question by SheSaid: Please help, my dog threw up a worm? Transmittable to people?
I’m taking her to the vet in 1 hour, but I’ve been doing some research online and I’m worried. If it’s round worm I guess it can be transmitted to humans. She pooped in the house yesterday and I cleaned it up, but if she has eggs is a regular household cleaner going to kill them? I don’t want her/us to contract more worms! I will ask the vet, but I’m living in Spain and I’d appreciate a US or UK vets input on this one.

The only way to get round worm is if you eat her poop or lick your fingers after you clean up her poop.
Just wash your hands with hot water and soap.

Question by casey: Dog took his heart worm preventative this morning, threw up this evening, does he need another dose?
Or do you think he was able to digest it already. He most likely played to hard this evening and got an upset tummy.

Well, the dog can digest food about the same as a human, so probably not, but its better to be safe than sorry.
