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.

What medication are good for dogs?

It depends on what is wrong with your dog or what he or she needs. The only way to know for sure is to take your dog in to be checked out by a Veterinarian. Do not self medicate at home. Be sure to feed your dog a good name brand dog food, not a cheap generic brand. Make sure you have your dog dewormed, vaccinated, on once a month heart worm preventative medications & a once a month topical flea & tick preventative. Your Veterinarian can help you out with all that you need.


How many times do you worm adult dogs?

It's a constant battle if all you are doing is dipping them. It's better to get a product like Frontline or Advantix to combat the problem forever. I've found that you don't have to use those products as often as the packaging claims. Every few months is enough. If you are dipping the dog, you are applying toxins to their entire body every few weeks, and still not really taking care of the problem.


What if dog giving birth without deworming?

If your puppy is not dewormed, it can get sick. It can also die if the infestation of worms is bad.
