Stretch177 39 Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Got a beddy x whippet yesterday. She wouldn't eat anything yesterday and the same today, she only ate a palmful dry food yesterday night and then ate the same this morning for her breakfast. Just came into the kitchen and she had thrown up and all I could describe as noodle like worms were there on the floor. She is 10 weeks old and as far as I was told is fully upto date with her worming, just needed her injections, which she is getting tomorrow. Anyway is there any reason to worry and rush her to the vets or will she be ok until I go tomorrow morning. I had some drontal worming suspension coming to continue the worming process, but don't really want to wait with her being so young and not eating. She is lively enough, playing with the other dogs right now, but she has been very sleepy today. Her shit has been fine with no worms or anything in there, so if anybody with more experience can advise I would be greatful. Regards Stretch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stretch177 39 Posted October 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Cheers for the quick response mate..managed to get some from a neighbour, the problem I'm having is as she won't eat anything I can't get the tablet in her. Reading about on google it's coming back as Roundworm, are they the same as tapeworm?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stretch177 39 Posted October 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Right the ones I've been given are Johnson's one dose easy wormer size 1..luckily my neighbour has chihuahuas and pugs, I've weighed her an she is 5lb, so I've gave her just the 1 as recommend on the box and will follow it up with the drontal in a few weeks. Cheers lads for the help, heart skipped a beat at first and didn't have a clue how serious it was. She's a little dot and was the runt so she is tiny hence the worry. Definitely roundworm mate, smooth and looks like a noodle/beansprout. Cheers lads Stretch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
