My chihuahua's have worms, can not figure out where they got them as they go out to go potty and come right back in. Anyway, I know they have them, but they are such tiny dogs and are very sensitive to shots or meds. In fact we have to seperate their shots because if given all at once they have gone into shock. I am leary of getting a strong worm med for them. Some people have told me that giving them a little pure tobacco will kill the worms. Has anyone else heard of this. Does anyone have any suggestions to a natural type remedy for treatment, or has anyone tried the natural drops from pet meds? May as well treat the cat too just in case, any suggestions for her? Thanks

Most likely they have tape worms caused from fleas. Must be treated. Your vet or animal supply can give you some to be retreated again in 2 weeks. Please don't avoid treatment. Worms can kill your pets.

Just go to the vet... ask for worm pills. They'll want to know how much your pet weighs. They're really inexpensive.
