I just discovered about an hour ago that my 4 month old beagle puppy has worms, the ones that look like rice granules. I cant take him to the vet until payday which is monday. Will he make it until then? Today is Saturday midnight please answer asap.

He will be fine until Monday...Be sure to get rid of all fleas, so he doesn't get worms again..Tape worms are carried by fleas..

Yep he will make it till Monday, be sure to take a stool sample into the vet as there are other worms that aren't visible to the human eye that he may also have. It is not tape worms that he has, tape worms are flat and break off in segments, round worms look like spaghetti, the vet will use a all purpose wormer.

Tapeworms will stay indefinitely in an animal via fact they reproduce, so even whilst they die off greater will take their place. The little white rice segments you notice on your cat's poo or around his butt are segments of the tapeworm that incorporate eggs. additionally, tapeworms at the instant are not purely exceeded in fleas - they are able to return from ingesting prey, sniffing around different animal's poo or in case you have fed the cat any uncooked meat. possibly the vet gave you malicious program medicine for the cat - wherein case all the worms will die off interior a pair of days! you will see them popping out in her poo.

You do not need a vet! Just buy a dog worm medicine at a feed-store or even a large grocery store when you get paid.
Stop panicking!!!!!...Your dog would not suffer life threatening problems for years, even if you did nothing!.....Keep calm and buy the meds where I said and he will be fine!
Young dogs do need to see a vet and get all their shots and the industrial strength worm meds but you can do this when you have the money....it is not an emergency!

That's not tapeworms you are describing. However, I'm sure if the pup isn't loosing weight or acting tired all the time he'll be OK until Monday.
