What are signs of worms?

Question

I have a one year old brussels griffon. Starting last night she has been vommiting on and off, more food then I have even seen her eat all weekend. And since last week she has been constantly diggin at her bottom and scootching on the floor. I have a vey appt tomorrow but I was just wondering if anyone else knew anything that could help.

Answer 1

Symptoms may include upper abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, and loss of appetite for your dog.
To cure it, use antiparasitic (antihelmintic) medication once they are detected. Current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines for treatment is a prescription drug called praziquantel. The medication causes the tapeworm to dissolve within the intestines. Praziquantel is generally well tolerated. Sometimes more than one treatment is necessary.

Answer 2

Yeah, when my puppy had worms he rubbed his butt on the floor too. Your baby should be fine as long as you take her to the vet. (Which you already said you were doing, so you're a good mommy:) Another sign of worms is not only eating a lot, but also losing weight. Hopefully, she just over indulged and that's the reason she got sick. could also just be a bug. Either way, I hope she starts to feel better soon.

Answer 3

I don't know about the vomiting, but the scootching could be that her anial glands need to be expressed. Take her to the vet for both things.

Answer 4

When my dog had worms I saw tiny white wigly things in her poop. She had a tape worm.She was treated and I saw the worm it was at least twice as long as she was! Glad your'e taking your pet to the vet.

Answer 5

did you just ask this? dogs usually vomit and drag their butts around. not much you can do at home. just wait for the appt tomorrow. that would be best
