that is what you cleaned up and i agree icky..all dog puke is icky..thanks for confirming me Renee..i was hoping i remembered my education right..biology was a long long time ago..they did show the heart and film at a retriever dinner.."dinner that a lot of people didn't make it thru hehehe) a vet gave a lecture. I was about 14 at the time so i hoped i remembered it all right. hooks, make the gums pale are in the digestive track..if you see them they are small and have a hook at one edn, make a dog lethargic...when the slaves were considered lazy..it is a fact that a lot of them were infested with hookworms and were actually anemic (sp?) at least that is what my bio teacher told me in college..he said the larvae are in the dew..and enter the body between the toes..a good reason for wearing shoes.
rounds are long and resemble speghetti..signs are often vommited up, a swollen belly..poor coat and over all appearance, tapes look like rice, signs increased appetite, rubbing of rectum on the ground, segments left where the animal slept..looking like dried up grains of rice..or around the rectum and hair around the rectum as well..they are also in the digestive tract..i have heard of a round worm accidently making it's way to some other part of the body..but don't know if my source was accurate..one of the reasons i really don't believe children should have sandboxes especially if they have cats..my Charlie picked up a strange kind of worm in Arizona at the cattle stock yards..i don't remember what it was, but it destroyed the lining to his stomach and he had to eat rice and boiled hamburger for the first year. We almost lost him, he was only 8 weeks old when he got them. My vet took him home and gave him transfusions from his own dog. That is about all i know about worms in a nutshell. Tapes won't kill ya,,are carried by fleas and flys.. and lions need tapeworms to digest their food..weird huh?
