My 7 year old Shih tzu was brought into the vet today and they found that he has tapeworms. He hasn't had fleas since he's lived with me, but had a bad infestation when my parents owned him. The vet gave him a shot and said I'd need to come back in 3 weeks for a followup. Right now, my dog is spazzing out and barking and scratching. I understand that the worms are uncomfortable, but after 3 nights of barking, I need some sleep. At night, he seems to only calm down when I'm petting him. About how long will it be until he starts feeling better and is there anything I can do to calm him down?
