1. PetMeds® Tapeworm Treatment In Dogs
Tapeworms are one of the most common intestinal parasites of dogs and cats. Dogs that have a large
number of tapeworms, which are known to grow to six feet in length, can suffer weight loss. Some
dogs will vomit tapeworms if the infestation is heavy. Tapeworms can cause minor skin irritation
around the dog's anus when segments of the parasite are being passed. Most of the skin problems
are caused by the dog dragging his or her butt along the floor. Tapeworms can infect humans, who
rarely show symptoms. Whipworms are more commonly seen in dogs than cats.
Treatment for tapeworm in dogs is quite simple - you just have to eliminate the worms by having
your dog take a special drug, much like how children with worms have them eliminated through
anti-worm medicine. Be careful when choosing anti-tapeworm medicine, because some over-th-
-counter ones are not very effective in killing the tapeworms. E. multilocularis is only seen in hunting
dogs, as it is more common in wild dogs.

Diagnosis of infection with true” tapeworms is reached by identifying proglottids in the fecal
material or by recognizing eggs on fecal flotation. However, because proglottids are not uniformly
distributed in the fecal material and eggs do not consistently float, fecal flotation alone is not a
reliable means of diagnosing tapeworm infection in dogs and cats. The main prevention that works
best is to keep the dogs flea and lice free.
This anti-tapeworm medication can be administered orally or by injection and will make the
tapeworm dissolve inside the intestines of the dog. Most dogs suffer from no significant side effects
of Praziquantel treatment. Tapeworm infection is one of the most common internal parasite
problems observed by dog owners. Tapeworm segments are white, pinkish, yellow and similar in size
and shape to flattened grains of rice. Some of these diseases can affect humans.
Tapeworms are flat worms with segments that attach themselves to the dog's intestinal wall and
continue to grow segments, each with its own digestive and reproductive system. Tapeworms are
spread when your dog ingests a flea or louse that has in turn ingested a tapeworm egg. It is possible
to get tapeworms from eating infected dead animals or prey, such as rodents. Usually only one dose
of medication is needed to treat the tapeworms.
