Ugh. I thought Molly's worm issue was over, but she had her annual checkup and the stool sample showed worms again! Yay. Have to pick her up meds tomorrow and also some for Jake (because he is a poop eater). Poor little thing, I feel bad if she has been uncomfortable.

Hope Molly gets well soon...worms are the worst

 

[Brisen]

Poor Molly! Hope this course of medicine does the trick!

 

[Mollys Mom]

OMG ---- not only does Molly have worms but Jake does too! Yuck! Both are medicated now. Molly seemed to be in the egg stage but Jake passed a lot of loooooooooooong roundworms. I am so grossed out and feel like a bad mommy too. Jake is 10 and 1/2 and those worms were taking away his nutrients. They have to take meds again in about a week and then be re-tested. I gave Andy the meds too but he seems to be fine.

Oh, bless their hearts!

Sometimes worms are so tough to get rid of. When our Traveler was a puppy it took several wormings to get rid of them. He was the toughest case we've ever had.

 

[Toby & Lucky]

Hang in there. Toby got some kind of worm when he caught and ate a yucky rat. The vet will get 'em taken care of. Just hang in there. Hope they are all well very soon!

 

[Mollys Mom]

They are both feeling so much better!! I'm glad we found out and got the meds started. I especially feel bad for poor old Jake.

 

[nmartin32]

YaY! Glad your babies are feeling better

deworming must be harder on older dogs eh? one of my pups puked long worms and a few days later got him medicated, and tested a month later... clean as a whistle!

I think for Jake it especially is, since he is 10. He needs all those nutrients that the worms were taking from him. Jake and Molly have one more worming next week and then will be re-tested.
