Best Buds (pic overload)

Thanks! Good info. I’ll have them do a fecal just in case. He is on heartworm meds as well as the flea and tick kind but I’ll have them check. I haven’t seen any worms in his poop but just in case.

Dogs generally have to be carrying a hefty load of worms for you to actually see them in their poops.

I had one pup who tested clear on her fecal, and than a week later vomited up a slimy pile of roundworms one morning. Vet said sometimes they get walled off in the stomach.

Tape worms will not show up on a fecal. At least that's what I was told. Generally you see those crawling around under the tail and it requires a different wormer.

I personally haven't run a fecal on most of my dogs past the puppy stage.

Oh wow that’s weird! So I shouldn’t do one then or?

The Faker tested negative for worms with poop test at the vets office.
He shatted out the roundworms and tapeworms.

You do whatever you want but I have never had a dog scratch its butt unless it had tapeworms.

Thanks, that’s good to know! I’ll ask the vet when I take him.

Cobra takes this and it's not for worms.
The stuff the Faker takes does have worm stuff in it.
