Default Now we have Tapeworm

no hookworm
now tapeworm

how can a dog be wormed properly
be gaining weight (he was almost 90 pounds today)
and still get yet a THIRD type of worms...

(this is my second type with him, I assume he had roundworms when he
was born)

he was on the tail end of being wormed when we got him....

Different wormers kill different kinds of worms. You have to treat
specifically for the kind the dog has.

Green hulled black walnut works great on tapeworms.

How can he get another kind of worm? It has to do with what you feed the
dog. Kibble fed dogs are much more likely to pick up worms, infections
etc because their health is compromised.

Unlike other intestinal parasites of the dog or cat, tapeworms don't lay
eggs inside the pet. For that reason, when veterinarians perform fecal
floatations looking for parasite eggs, tapeworms are often overlooked.
Because the eggs are passed by the pet in packets (segments), they often do
not show up on the fecal exam. (The packet must break open for the eggs to
be seen.) To make a long story short, if you can keep your pet from eating
fleas, rabbit, mouse or rat viscera it won't get a tapeworm. The
intermediate host is required. If there is a source of re-infection, vets
often treat a second dose three weeks later. Since this is the stage
between ingestion, hatching, and attachment in the intestine, where the
droncit removed the protective layer of the tapeworm after it attaches,
and then gets ingested and passed (You won't see any eggs released) I would
guess there was an infection present at the time you adopted him and are
just now seeing the shedding of segments as the tapeworm has gone full
lifecycle and is now reproducing.

Sometimes there are more important things to consider than fleas,
especially when using something as deadly as Frontline. Why use it when
there are much safer alternatives?

Fleas can kill a dog. Flea allergies, diseases carried by fleas. Fleas
are extremely important to control.

Frontline has been extremely widely used and is quite safe. Furthermore,
it's far more effective than most other flea treatments. Animals are
fare more likely to be oversaturated with flea treatments and get
poisoned when owners bomb *and* use flea collars (ineffective) *and*
bathe in flea ointments (ineffective).

Oh and to the poster, Chardonnay is one of our local kooks. Most of us
don't killfile her simply because she gives out so much erroneous and
potentially dangerous information that it's important to keep tabs.

Yes they are!

It is *not* safe!

Spot-On Pesticides such as Frontline, Zodiac, Defend, Bio Spot, Adams
and Advantage trigger adverse reactions in dogs and cats, shorten life
spans, cause terminal illness, and premature death. . The active
ingredients in these solutions include chemicals such as imidacloprid,
fipronil, permethrin, methoprene, and pyriproxyfen, all of which have
caused serious health problems in animals in laboratories.2 Even some
of the inert ingredients can be hazardous to your animal companion’s
health. Other forms of flea control—powders, collars, and sprays—are no
less dangerous to you or your companion animals. Labels may warn not to
get these substances on your skin, to wash your hands after applying it,
and to keep it away from children, yet these chemicals are absorbed by
your animal’s skin. Immediate effects of pesticide overdose include
vomiting, diarrhea, trembling, seizures, and respiratory problems. If
your dog or cat shows any of these symptoms after the application of a
pesticide, immediately wash the product off and seek veterinary care.

Animals are
fare more likely to be oversaturated with flea treatments and get
poisoned when owners bomb *and* use flea collars (ineffective) *and*
bathe in flea ointments (ineffective).


Why use anything that can poison a dog when there are other
alternatives? Diatomaceous earth is a great one, as is boric acid. A
flea comb costs about a dollar. And just vacuuming more often does
wonders too. And then there are nematodes which are totally non toxic.
Flea repellents made with natural ingredients like essential oils also help.

Fleas, like any parasite, are more attracted to the weak animals. That
means that merely by feeding a species appropriate diet will cut down on
fleas due to superior health.


Our pets are surrounded by so many chemicals just like us humans are,
and it's showing in the cancer rates for all of us. Frontline is a
poison and so are many things we give our pets internally like heartworm
"preventatives".

Add to that the presence of poisons around your average home. Bug
killers on the lawn, various toxic sprays used in and around the house,
even things like Febreeze and bleach can cause cancer, allergies and
lots more.

Anyone who would tell people that Frontline is safe is not someone you
should be listening to!

Again to the OP, the person writing this has no factual data to back up
her claims whatsoever.
