    Horrified!

    in Health and Medical discussion

    Posted

    My 3 got them when Pongo first arrived at my home. He had a very bad flea problem at the kennel, I was also horrified but I took them all to the vets and they all got a pill. I vacuumed real good and $65.00 later they were all gone....I know it is very contagious.... Before I knew he had them the other 2 had got them, Aladdin was the only one that did not....

     

    It's not contagious dog-to-dog. They all got infected via the fleas, not via each other. :) Fix the flea problem, you'll fix the tapeworm problem!

     

    Thank You for clarifying! I was told by the vet that if one had the tape worm then the others could catch it through the feces! Guess I need to get a new vet....I am not sure how the other three got them, we never had a flea problem nor did I ever see a flea on them, but I did see the worms in three of their feces...
