I have a female chihuahua that is a year old and the vet did blood work on her the other day after getting her spayed. They asked me to bring them a sample of her stool and found tapeworm. The vet has given me a pill for her as a treatment. I did some research online and it says that humans and juvenile animals can get it and be affected by it. Is this true?
What else can I do to prevent other dogs/people in the house from getting it?
Can humans get it or be affected by it?
What type of precautions should I take if I'm pregnate myself?
About two nites ago, my female chihuahua (who has the worms now) spent a couple of hours in the room playing with her 7 week old pups and cleaning them, will this affect them, too?
How long does it take for the tapeworms to clear up?
