Guest KennelMom Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Here's hoping they don't puke it back up Can't hurt to worm them, but probably not necessary...keep an eye out for tapes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrairieProf Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Aieee, what a way to start the morning! And that it was your sweet little girls... I think I read something on a previous rabbit-killing thread about fleas as a possible issue? No experience with this myself (yet!) however.

Guest Energy11 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I'd take a stool sample(s) in, in a day or two, to check. Rabbits definitely carry tapeworms, and other lovely worms :-( ... Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Greyt_dog_lover Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 What type of monthly flea treatment are your hounds on? If you use "Revolution" you dont have to worry about worms as that particular product also is a wormer. If your hounds arent on Revolution, I still wouldn't worry about it much. My hounds have eaten a few rabbits around the yard, as well as a bird, and even attempted a skunk. Remember, these hounds are designed to eat rabbits and other vermin, the worst that can happen is worms, and those are easy enough to take care of. As others have said, I would just watch for the big D. Even if they do get worms, you wont know for a week or so anyway (the gestation period for most worms is 1-3 weeks, I believe).

Guest Energy11 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I just checked with my former employer/vet, and he said, you can bring a stool sample in, anytime after a week. He said it might be a good idea. The only heartworm medication that covers TAPEworms is Iverheart MAX. Hope they don't get any! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 3greysinPA Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Thank you for the replies... I will watch for the Big 'D' Can i buy Iverheart Max online? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Energy11 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 (edited) I get my Iverhart MAX at this site. Good prices for the "brown" box. You will need a script from you vet. They fax the vet, if you want. Good Luck. This the heartworm treatment I use, because we have a lot of mice, rats, etc. up here in the woods. When we lived in Florida, Staggerlee at a RAT! http://search.store.yahoo.net/cgi-bin/nsearch?unique=a30c1&catalog=discountpetsdrugs (link ... in the "search box," just type in Iverhart Max.

Chicocat Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I think my girl Darlin is probably the exception to normal, but sharing a game of tug of war near the rabbit's intestines left Darlin with pancreatitis. Quote Ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 3greysinPA Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 oh no. I'm so sorry. What should i do for Lilly and Faye in the meantime? is there anything you can do to help prevent pancreatitis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Energy11 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 No, nothing you can do to prevent Pancreatitis. Just watch for the signs: vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, fever, etc. When Staggerlee at the RAT (ugh), he had no ill effects, including NO worms! :-)) I AM glad they are all vaccinated against Rabies, though, as wild game can carry this. We had a Rabies epidemic in this area, over the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest longdogs Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Nothing to worry about. In the unlikely event they pick up worms an 'all-wormer' pill will sort them out. No point in giving one now because it won't work until the worm becomes active. Just use one in place of your normal regular intestinal worm treatment.

Guest TexasGreytMom Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Before we put welded wire with smaller openings around the bottom our fenceline, the girls caught one, but fortunately they didn't eat it. Just stood at our back door looking thru the glass and waiting for us to let them inside with it in Shelby's mouth! LOL! Thank you all for the good info - hope your girls are feeling okay.
