Question by Leah: Where do whipworms come from and how can they infect water?
I read that dogs can get whipworm from drinking infected water and a lady at 1-800 ped meds told me they can get in the water when another dog drinks in your dog’s bowl. Is this true?

Question by doe: Can garlic water be used to kill dog worms?
I have a puppy i recently bought and yesterday when he pooped a worm like this one http://www.beaglesunlimited.com/Photos/CanineRoundworms.jpg

i was told by someone that if i boil a garlic in water for about 10 or 15 minutes and then gave the water to my dog(when it cools down of course) it can kill the worms so is it true?

The only way to help your puppy is by taking it to a VET! Don’t do experiments on a LIFE!

Question by akajeremyk98: What are these tiny worm-like bugs in the dog’s water?!?
I’m so freaked out! I change my dog’s water on a weekly basis and we found like five of these little worm-like bugs (they were like a greenish color) and were just swimming around in the corner of the water dish… what are they?! Should I be worried?!

I’d be worried.
