While we are on the topic of worms I have a question for you guys...
My working routine is as follows ;
First every month I give a dose of strongid or safe guard (I alternate them every month) as well as a dose of ivermectin. Occasionally I’ll dose them 3 days in a row just to hit them hard. Sometimes I’ll miss a worming and then I’ll hit them 3 days in a row on the next cycle as well. All dogs look healthy and I never see worms in their poop. Their in kennels and I clean them out so I monitor it.
Well my male pup that got ran over a few weeks back has been in the house, going outside on a leash. He was consitpated for several days after the initial injury, I chalked it up to the pain meds. Then when he started pooping again he had a very very small amount of blood in it. No worries, figured it was just from being constipated. Well after a few days I watched him poop out a tape worm that had to be every bit of 2ft long and he had just a real nasty bloody poop. I hit him hard with some wormer and everything has looked fine since then. Are tape worms not covered under the wormers I’m using? Is there something I should change up? Like I said all dogs seem 100% healthy
Sorry if this is gross but here’s a picture of the worm, I’ve never seen a dog pass anything like this. Kinda creeped me out lol
