You can use the info on this site to help convince your parents and yourself if your dog has worms or not.

When did you worm her? If she had all those symptoms she may have had the worms pretty bad. It takes a few days for the worms to get out of her. But, if its been several days already, go with the answer of calling your vet yourself and explaining that she is still acting that way and see if they can give you some over the phone advice that will either help her feel better or convince your parents to bring her in to see the vet.

If she acts like she has worms - have you ever wormed her before? If so, do you still have some of the medicine? Call the vet, if that is all that is going on, odds are he will prescribe the medicine without seeing her, and maybe your parents will agree to taking you there just to pick up the medicine. Worming pills are very cheap.

That's hard!
She might still be reacting to the worming medicine- or she might be genuinely ill. If the latter, it's better to catch it early rather than wait for it to spiral out of control.
Get your parents in the room, call the vet, and hopefully the vet can convince them that there just might be a sick pooch in the house.
Good luck!

Try to get a stool sample to the vet and explain your reasoning... they MAY test the sample for free or charge your parents after they finally do the right thing and get the dog examined.
Try a guilt trip... ask them if you were sick, wouldn't they take you to the doctors? When they refer to your dog as just a "dog" use the "she is still a member of this family" line!

Sick pet needs vet. It's that simple. Over the counter wormers can really harm a pet, even be fatal.

Why don't you call and speak to your vet, then you can pass the message along to your parents. Or call the vet and stick your parents on the phone - he/she can explain it to them.
