My dog has a wolf worm, and my daughter works for a vet. The vet told her to tell me to put hydrogen peroxide on it and the worm would come out.
2nd Answer:
There is no such worm called a "Wolf Worm". Is this an internal worm you saw passed in the feces or a sore on your pet's skin? You need to take your pet in to see your Veterinarian to be treated. I know for a fact that hydrogen peroxide would never kill a maggot infection so you are getting some ignorant answers here. Your Vet will know what the problem is and how to treat it.
What a dumb thing to even think of. You just made a decision to kill fido.
No, but it can kill the dog.
Yes.
One example of endoparasite is when dogs have heartworms. The heartworms are the endoparasite because they are living inside the dogs body. The heartworms are benifited, they are called the parasites, and the dog is harmed, it is called the host.
yes
Turpentine is NOT a reliable or sensible abortion medicine. Not for dogs, not for anyone.
Heartgard only kills the microfillare, the immature stage of heartworms (or baby heartworms). It will not kill the adult heartworms that live in the heart. That is why it is very important to have your dog tested first by a Veterinarian for heartworms.
Cats and dogs
Dogs? Heartworms....
No, this is a myth. Turpentine is a solvent that is toxic to dogs.
No, they are useless for treating heartworms. This is somethig your vet must treat, it cannot be done with home remedies.
Yes, all dogs can get heart worms.
No, heartworms gather nutrients from the blood streaming by them. In fact, heartworms don't actually live in the heart of dogs - they live in the large pulmonary arteries in the lungs but swim into the heart after the dog dies.
Caused by Dirofilara immitis, heartworms are a potentially fatal parasitic worm living in the pulmonary arteries, lungs & hearts of cats. Heartworms are nematodes, a type of roundworm, they are several inches long, thin & white. Heartworms are a common parasite in dogs, although cats do become infected & may develop disease. While cats are more resistant to heartworm infestations than dogs, cats in particular are extremely vulnerable to heartworm & even a small number can lead to death. The disease is spread from mosquito to animals when the mosquito feeds from it's host. This is known as vector borne.
