Marie what if your dog is having some of the symtoms but u have to wit a week to be able to check and see if your dog really has worms. would it be too late that they would be really bad and not able to tke care of or would it be ok and your dog will be fine and the worms will be able to be treated? 6/20/2008
JenJen My 6 week old puppy has round worms and we bought a liquid dewormer and he still has them I even gave him another dose the next day and he still has them. What to do now? 6/15/2008
Anne Whip worms-Cleaning the yard with a safe cleaning agent will not work! Whips are highly resistant to most anything since they are encased in a shell! Lime is your best bet and still you are running a high gamble! Only way to keep dogs free of whips is a triple worming 3 weeks apart and putting your dog on Inceptor or Sentinel! These meds work on heartworm and all worm infestations in dogs! 6/9/2008
