There are white wriggling things under my dog’s rear. I dewormed it yesterday but they’re still there today, and now I’m afraid to give more dewormer. What should I do?!
Based on your description, it is normal for your dog to still be passing worms the day after deworming. When a dog infected with internal parasites takes a deworming medication, it will gradually expel eggs and worm bodies in its stool, usually clearing them within 3-7 days. If worms are still being passed a week after treatment, or if large numbers of eggs or worms appear, the infection is more serious and a second round of deworming is needed.
What dewormer can I use on a pregnant dog?
During pregnancy, dewormers are generally not advised. If truly needed, choose a safer product, preferably a topical all-in-one (internal and external) drop, from a safe, legitimate source. Dose strictly by weight—no overdose, to avoid strong stimulation or harm.
My dog keeps coughing and gagging with yellow foam and a little bloody stool
Persistent cough, gagging, yellow vomit and bloody stool may be: 1) a swallowed sharp foreign body causing gut damage and blood—needs X-ray and surgery; 2) canine parvovirus or coronavirus, with bloody tomato-like stool, vomiting, dehydration, low spirits—needs a vet; 3) internal parasites with gut inflammation—needs deworming. The first case seems most likely; see a vet.
