Roundworm infections in dogs are commonly diagnosed via a fecal exam. Roundworms produce microscopic eggs that are shed in a dog's feces and these can be identified by a veterinarian by examining a sample of fecal material. Roundworms may also be diagnosed in cases of severe infestation through the animal vomiting up the adult parasites or passing adults in feces.
Your question doesn't say what you want to know about treating a dog for roundworms.
You can feel free to give your dog white pumpkin seeds as long as you want - it's not going to impact the roundworms in the slightest. To get rid of roundworms in your dog, you need medication from your veterinarian. The typical drug is cheap, extremely effective and your veterinarian can administer the single dose for you so you don't have to mess with it.
I suggest you take your dog in to be checked out by a Veterinarian. How do you know they are maggots? It could be roundworms or tapeworms coming out through the feces. If it truly is maggots then there is a real problem going on such as a wound or infection and only a Veterinarian should be dealing with it.
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!
Dogs act as an environment for many parasites such as fleas, ticks, lice, tapeworms, roundworms and bacteria.
Roundworms are transmitted when dogs eat dirt or feces contaminated with roundworm eggs. Nearly all puppies are born with roundworm--most mothers have dormant larvae in their tissue. These larvae come to life at the end of the pregnancy and migrate into the lungs of the new pups.
