Best Answer

YES....

There are several types of worms that dogs can have in which you will not see the worm itself because the adult worms live in the intestines and the worms Larva/eggs which can be rather tiny are expelled in the dogs fecies..

You can have your dog tested for worms at the vet and treated if need be...

If you can not afford a vet visit and suspect your dog to have worms then you can purchase a de-wormer medication from the pet store,then follow the directions and monitor the dogs droppings,within the first two days of being medicated you will definitely be able to see the adult worms in the fecies..

All puppies should also be wormed at a certain age,check with the pet store or the vet.

2nd Answer:

Round worms when passed look like long strands of spaghetti and with tapeworms, sometimes you will see the egg segments that they pass which will look like tiny grains of rice. The best thing to do is to take a fecal sample in to your Vet's, collected from over a period of 2 days & have it checked. As said above, sometimes the eggs will not always show up, especially tapeworm eggs. If you see roundworms, be sure to repeat the deworming within 10-14 days from the date of the first deworming.

Does chocolate give dogs worms?

Feeding dogs chocolate is a generally bad idea. Chocolate contains a chemical called theobromine which can be really bad for dogs. Since chocolate is never good for dogs, best not to give them any. Apart from the above, dogs don't get worms from chocolate. Worms come from worm eggs, which are amazingly unlikely to be found in chocolate. They are usually picked up from the environment and there is no real way to prevent them, which is why vets recommend regular worming.


Puppy wormed one week ago is it normal for small white worms to be present but no fecal matter?

You never mentioned what kind of worms your dog was treated. For hook and round worms an over the counter treatment may be enough. If you go to the vet they will give your dog Strongid-T, which will take care of the hook and round worms. If you are seeing white worms coming out of your dogs rectum or you see white worms in the fecal matter, your dogs has Tape worms. There is no over the counter treatment that will get rid of Tape worms. You must go to the vet who will give you a little pill to give to your dog. If your dog has tape worms you may also find tiny and I mean tiny little off white, sesame seed looking things in your dogs bedding. These are Tape worms that have crawled out of your dogs rectum and dried up and died. Sometimes this is the only evidence that a dog owner will see and wonder what the heck they are. Now you know.
