doglova Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 EEEEKKKKK my new puppy has worms just got her yesterday and wormed her yesterday this morning she is pooing roundworms they are dead well not moving oh my god its horrible. We are now being super hygenic with handwashing etc and watch her like crazy so we can pick the poo up and throw it in the rubbish bin. I've made an appointment at the vets for tommorrow couldn't get in for today but raced out yesterday when we got home just in time to get the worm tablets. My question is will there be any long lasting effects. we rang the breeder who said none of his dogs would have worms i was only ringing to tell him not to complain but she has to have got them from her mum from what i can read. How long does it take to pass them all still had some come out this morning we wormed her yesterday afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a clever breeder they are that their dogs could not have worms..... Be guided by your vet but I'd be worming her again fairly soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CavsRcute Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) Four days after my friend picked her pup up, she had to take him to the vet as he was lethargic and vomiting.Originally thought it was parvo but they discovered he was riddled with worms, and they collected in a "pouch" and formed an obstruction. He was also very anaemic and had to have 4 blood transfusions. After 5 days in hospital and many thousands of dollars later, he is pretty much back to 100% fit. This was supposedly after he had been wormed Edited March 23, 2009 by CavsRcute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodlefan Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 we rang the breeder who said none of his dogs would have worms Feel free to send him a sample. Did you ask him when the pups had been wormed.. with a response like you got, I wonder if they have ever been done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puggy_puggy Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Oh yucky. What unethical breeders. Hopefully your puppy will be fine. Your vet will probably tell you to worm again fairly soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wootaanddawn Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 thats a great idea poodlefan. I have had numerous litters over the years, and worm my pups from 2 wks of age, and every 2 weeks until they leave. I then give the pup a worm tablet in front of the new owners to show them how to do it. I had one litter that had quite a lot of worms once, but found that this litter had more grass to play around than the others and related it to sniffing and chewing off the ground more, and as such pickup worms that way also. I advised all new owners to worm every two weeks until they were 14 weeks old. this took care of the problem. but for a breeder to say they never have worms is quite ridiculous really, all dogs have worms to some extent. best of luck with your new pup, I am sure all will be ok once treated by the vet on a more stringent course of worming than what your "breeder" (cant really call themselves a breeder with a response to you like that" , Some good advice would have been all that you needed I am sure. again, good luck with those yucky worms....

femmie Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 last week a person i know left town and called me after she had been away for two days to let me know noone had been feeding her dog which has 7 puppies i went around there and was disgusted with how bad the mother looked i could actually see her shoulder bone moving in the joint when she walked she was so thin ... i took her to the vet and she had 7 different kinds of worms .. this was after being wormed apparently the week before by the coles brand of dog wormer ... the vet then told me the coles brand while it is expensive doesnt get all worms like i thought and he gave me three tablets at 2.35 each and a bottle of wormer for the puppies for 12 dollars each that would kill all types of worms .. clearly the worms wasnt the dogs only problem but the vet told me if left untreated dogs look terrible when they have worms and they dont gain weight . i will only ever get my worming tablets from my vet from now on ... it really opened my eyes with the coles brand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellz Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 The fact is that even the best families can get worms. It doesn't mean that the breeder was necessarily lax or neglectful. It simply means that they didn't worm at the correct developmental stage of the worm and that there were still eggs or larvae hatching. Just keep worming on a regular basis, according to the correct dosage with a good allwormer and that is all you need to concern yourself about.
