My puppy Harley has been vomiting a lot, He has worms in his stool could most likely be the tapeworms. Also loss of weight

Thank you for your question. . Puppies are prone to parasites, but also infectious diseases and intestinal infections. It would be best to have your pet seen by a veterinarian, as they can examine them, see what might be going on, and get any treatment that they might need.

I was told that his litter mates had hookworms and they had all taken the same dewormer is there a way to see if he has worms and if he does can you recommend me a dewormer

Hello- Thank you for your question. The best way to assess whether he still is infected with hookworms is to schedule an appointment with your veterinarian and bring in a stool sample to be checked. If hookworm eggs are still present your vet can prescribe an appropriate dewormer to clear the infection. Enjoy your new puppy. He is adorable!

Will diatomaceous earth -food grade for fish- administered to my property of 4 acres, will it kill worm eggs etc to keep my dogs from getting worms from the soil? I have a rescued dog of 8 lbs, mix looks like Jack Russell Terrier and Chihuahua and he went to the Vet in Missouri, but Vet said preventives don't work well in the Ozarks location cause of so many worm infestations in the ground.Vet wormed him 2 mos ago, but now he has round worms. Can I use garlic, pumpkin seeds or what to clear him and keep him worm free? I am from Houston where we use Heartguard/plus and Nexgard, or Trifexis which Vet says won't work in Tecumseh MO. I have a German Shepherd and Dachshund which always did perfectly well on those meds in Houston TX, and I am scared now. Just moved into the new house.

The application of diatomaceous earth to land is not something I’m familiar with or have any reference for efficacy; the use within the home and on pets is documented. If your dogs keep getting worms, you should speak with your local Veterinarian about the medications they recommend for controlling parasites. Regards Dr Callum Turner DVM

What all can I do to get rid of worms in my chiweenie puppy? As of right now she looks like she's going to pass away but she's moving around unlike before where she would just sit still and look around.

You should be treating Chloe with an effective anthelmintic like Drontal Plus (praziquantel/pyrantel pamoate/febantel) regularly as part of your parasite control program. Also, issues with digestion or malabsorption may also cause issues with a dog’s ability to digest and absorb food; you should take Chloe to your Veterinarian for an examination to ensure that nothing more serious is going on.
