What does it mean when a dog drags her butt and licks her back foot?

My dog was dragging his butt. The vet told me that it may be fleas irritating him. I got Frontline, waiting to see if it works to stop his dragging. It's been about 3 weeks, and he doesn't drag as much. Also, he may need to have his anal glands expressed.


Why is my dog eating plenty but still acting ravenous?

If your puppy hasn't been dewormed then please take it to the vet. A new puppy should always have a good check-up by your vet anyway. Puppies need to be dewormed and the vet will give you the correct amount of deworming medication. Also, puppies may have ravenous appetites because they grow fast, play hard and then sleep approximately every 20 minutes. If your puppy hasn't been dewormed then please take it to the vet.

You just got your puppy and it is 12 weeks old and has not been dewormed yet you dewormed it tonight but while it is sleeping white worms are falling out of his bottom how bab does he have them?

There are many types of worms and some can be deadly, especially to a young dog. The worms need to be identified and treated properly by a veterinarian. If signs of worms are that evident while puppy is sleeping (not just in stools), it suggests that the puppy's body is riddled with them. It should, without hesitation, be seen by a veterinarian before extensive damage occurs to internal organs.

Your Cat has tapeworm your dog was dewormed in October do you need to still get him checked out or dewormed again?

I would get your cat and dog dewormed for tapeworms, but it may be ideal to ask the vet first. Just remember that the flea is the intermediate host. In other words, the only way your cat or dog can become infected with tapeworms is for them to ingest a flea that has eaten tapeworm eggs. Your dog or cat could eat feces that is full of tapeworm eggs and never become infected with tapes, they have to eat the flea itself. A flea jumps on the dog or cat and the cat or dog bites at it and accidentally ingests it. Then they get the tapeworm. So deworm for tapes for both the cat and dog, make sure the medication says it will get rid of tapeworms. You can find this medication at your Vets office. You have to purchase a different one that is safe for cats so read the label carefully, as cats and dogs need completely different doses. Never give a cat wormer meant for a dog. The next thing you have to do is to keep your animals from becoming re infected with tapeworms, is to keep the fleas off of them. Use once a month a flea & tick preventative. You just put it on topically, right on the skin once a month.


How do you make a smelly dogs fur smell better?

First bath the smelly dog with a good dog shampoo, do it twice. Always use a dog shampoo as human shampoo is too harsh on their coats. Make sure you are feeding your dog a good name brand of dog food, not some cheap generic food. Make sure you pet is vaccinated and dewormed. Take your pet to your Veterinarian for a good check up.


What is a good foal deworming program?

Most foals don't need to be dewormed until they start eating grass on pasture; even then, provided the adult horses have been regularly dewormed there isn't much need for a foal to be dewormed. I would suggest not developing a standard program, but rather working with your veterinarian to address worming issues as needed in specific foals.
