Round Worms
The Round Worm is a parasite up to five inches long, and
disgustingly, looks like spaghetti. Almost all puppies are born with it, because
it spreads through the pregnant mom to the fetus through the blood stream. If
your puppy is born with it, don't worm it right away, wait to the recommended
time of six weeks to worm it, then worm again at four months.
Puppies don't only get Round Worms, but so can an adult dogs. Round
worms lay about 200,000 eggs a day and they come out in the feces of the dog, or
sometimes there may be eggs contaminating the soil. That is how it spreads from
dog to dog. You can tell if your dog or puppy has Round Worm if they have a dry
and lackluster coat, a pot belly, a thin neck, diarrhea, and watery eyes
and nose. Your dog or puppy may also cough up a worm. An easy way to tell if
he/she has Round Worm is by looking around the anus to see if there are worm
segments. For a dog, you should get veterinary treatment right away to catch the
worms before they mature and shed eggs. You will have to have a wormer worm it.
In the meanwhile, giving your dog Ruby Remedy is recommended.
