ACD4EVA Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 (edited) This morning (as we do every morning) we took our 12 week old pup out to the toilet. After he did a number 2 he started to drag his behind on the grass. At first I thought he may have been wiping his bottom We then went back inside and he then started to drag his behind on the floor. Is this a symptom of worms? I can't say I have studied his droppings to see if I can see any but when I have looked I could not see anything. We wormed him on wednesday this week for his 12 week worming. Any advise?? Edited November 26, 2010 by ACD4EVA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are in a tick area just check to see that he doesn't have a tick hanging there. You could always take a sample of poo to the vet to have it analysed for presence of worms. What did you worm him with? Edited November 26, 2010 by sheena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you worm him with? We wormed him with a chewable tablet (Bay O pet, Drontal All wormer). He hasn't done it since my first post and there wasn't tick or anything on him.

kyliestar Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 dogs also do it if they're a bit constipated, don't worry about it unless he does it a lot. i worm my dog the old fashioned way, a clove of garlic once a week, hasn't had worms for the past 3 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
