hi, i'm dr. aimee beger. i'm a veterinarian,and we're going to be talking about tapeworms today in your dog. tapeworms are typicallyseen as little white grains of rice, or white segments under your dog's tail, and they aretypically contracted by eating fleas, or by contact with other dogs that have tapeworms.the treatment of choice that we use here is a a drug called praziquantel, and it's a onetime treatment, and is typically curative;
How To Treat Ringworm In Dogs, although we do require doing a fecal testto ensure that your dog's tapeworm has been eliminated. when you come in with your dogwe like to have you bring in a fresh stool
sample, if possible. and we will send thatoff to the lab and look for tapeworm eggs. sometimes, we can diagnose it if we do seethe little tapeworm segments, or grains of
rice on your dog's rectum. and the good newsis it's very treatable and curable, and it is preventable as well.
