de-worming for dogs

Hi!

I’m a huge animal lover and I was wondering if anyone could help me solve

my problem…

I have a dog who’s name is Elvis and a cat who’s name is Princess!

I’ve discovered that Elvis had worms, (is it possible that he got from other pets???)

so I want to my vet and he gave him a de-worming medication in a tablet form but he wouldn’t swallow it!!

I didn’t want to use too much force so I tried wrapping it with some sausage but he some how figured it out!

please help me!!

Tami

Hi Tami!

about five months ago my dog Angie suffered from worms.

my friend told me to buy a de-worming pill and mix it with some chicken but

Angie figured it out and only ate a quarter…

that happened a couple of times unlit two months ago I’ve found a solution in a form of dry food that my Angie really liked and I didn’t have to force her at all !!!

you should try it …

I'd be weary of a product that claims to kill ALL canine worms. I would suggest using the tablets you received from your veterinarian and work on ways of making it more palatable.

You can try:
- mixing it with cottage cheese, regular cheese, peanut butter or yogurt.
- mixing it with ground chicken
- breaking it into smaller pieces and mixing it in with Elvis' food.

If push comes to shove, you may have to pill Elvis. I would suggest contacting your veterinarian, if you feel uncomfortable pilling a dog.

As to where the worms came from - it is certainly possible he got them from other animals. The larva of most worms are spread primarily through feces.
