My 7 month old mini schnuazer shows signs of having worms. I don't know if she has them or not. She has been going #2 a lot and its runny. What is the treatment if she has them?

The puppy's stomach will be rock hard like it just ate a feast even if it's been 3 hourse since it ate. also, it won't have a lot of energy and it will be going to the bathroom a lot, rubbing it's butt on the carpet, and taking forever to go to the bathroom. The vet will be able to give you the proper treatment for the diagnosis.
However don't take the butt rubbing only as a sign. That's also how dogs try to empty their anal glands.

You need to take her and a stool sample to the vet and have it checked for worms. A wormy dog usually has a distended stomach. They look bloated, but skinny elsewhere. You may or may not see worms in the stool. If the poop is bloody, it could be a number of things. If it is just loose, it could be food related, worms, among other things. It might be a good idea to take to the vet. Could be parvo or something bad like that and the sooner you get the dog to the vet, the better.

Take her to the vet to have her checked to see if she has worms and treat her. Their are worm meds that you can buy over the counter at petsmart or petco. But you still need to take her to get checked. All dogs need to make regular visits to the vet. Worming your dog regularly is merely up keep because all dogs get them from time to time.

Unless you see them when your dog poops, , only other way way to be a00% certain is to take a stool sample to the vet. The vet will let you know what kind of worms, if any, the dog has and prescribe the appropriate medication.

Look through the poop carefully to see if any appear. They are small but they do move. If it's a puppy don't use a pet store compound, take it to the vet or your local animal control facility

thier gums will whiten and not be pink anymore. Also, they may have loose bowel movements. Give her some yellow liquid worm medicine called nemex II. Every 2-3 weeks until she improves.

if you look at her stool a lot of times you can see worms and other times you can't, you need to take a stool sample to your vet so he/she can do a fecal float to determine whether or not your pooch has worms, if your pooch does you will more than likely be prescribed panacure to give to your pup.

Take her to the vet and he will do a fecal test. He will give you specialized wormer... you don't want to give her any more of that stuff (it's poison after all!) than she needs and that is why it's important to bring a vet into the situation.
