It usually happens when they poop after they get the shot. It should be dead worms. Also you sometimes need a two week follow up and possibly another shot. Check into that, otherwise the worms could come back and you'd have to start over. But yes, it is normal to see the worms coming out, your dog is getting rid of them instead of them being inside taking all the nutrition from your dog.
** The worms are not always dead when they come out. After my dog got dewormed, she passed a live roundworm.
Yes, it is possible to see live worms in feces after deworming, however these parasites are not a risk once they are outside of the body. Most deworming agents serve to paralyze the worms and thus they loose their place in the GI tract and can't eat and may be passed completely out of the body. Once they can't eat, they die.
If your dog DID have worms (and it wasn't only a preventative shot) then the treatment should kill them and YES your dog will still need to purge the worms from her system (meaning she will poop them out). If you are unsure or need more answers please check with your vet (or call any vet clinic) he/she will be more than pleased and in the best position to properly answer your questions.
If you have dewormed your dog, they may throw up live worms for a day or two. This is a sign the medication is working. Make sure that the dog does not choke on them.
Yes if the worms are in the intestines and they have been killed they will come out in the stool. Make sure you collect everything up and burn it.
You take that puppy to the vet as soon as possible. Maggots usually live on things that are decaying, so the puppy obviously has either an infected wound or has worms.
Yes they can. Worms are transmitted through fecal matter and if you cat is an outdoor cat, they can still come into contact of contaminated feces. If you think your cat has worms, take it to the vet with a fecal sample and they can test it to see if there are any worms.
Absolutely. The way that most intestinal parasites are transmitted is through the feces. I suggest deworming both the cats. But first, you should take the cats to your veterinarian. Your vet will perform a test on the feces to see what kinds of worms the cats have. The reason you need to know what kinds of worms they are is because there is not one dewormer that can kill all types of worms. Sidenote: An animal may have worms but it is possible that you will never see the worms in the stool. The reason is that the worms live in the gut and never leave it, the only thing that comes out in the poop is the microscopic eggs. There is only one type of worm egg that is visible to the naked eye (tapeworms). Ditto! Both the older cat and the kitten need a trip to the Vet. They need to be tested for all the different worms and then be dewormed. If one has worms it can have other things as well, so best to get a general check up on both, just to clear them up for all the little nasty bugs and viruses creeping about. Vet Trip ASAP!
There are worms that are parcites and live of from other animals like tapeworm and ring worm and there are worms that live in soil like earthworms.
YES! Absolutely, & even YOU can catch worms from dogs - roundworms especially. Worm eggs are in the dog's feces, are microscopic, and can be inhaled by your dog, or you, and transmitted in this way. So keep your dog AWAY from other dog's feces! They always want to smell other dog's feces, but try not to let that happen! If you handle any dog feces then be sure to THOROUGHLY wash your hands, immediately! If you fear that your dog may have worms then call your vet and find out how much they charge to test for worms. My vet only charges $30, so that's not bad at all. Worms, if left untreated, can eventually kill the dog!
