Hi guys, TicTac was dewormed twice with the breeder and he was dewormed again by my vet the day I brought him home. Since then, I have had 2 fecal tests for him and he tested negative for roundworms.
Today I gave both Peanut and Tic their Heartgard plus, and I read the box and it says "Administer once a month to prevent heartworm disease and to treat and control ascarid and hookworm infectioins in dogs"
Tic just pooed and there is a worm in it :new_Eyecrazy: It looks like the picture of roundworms my vet showed me before (kinda like a spagetti noodle). I have the poo in a ziplock bag now. I'm confused because he has tested negative twice. Did the meds in the Heartgard plus kill the worms so they came out? Should I make an appointment for tomorrow at the vet to have Tic dewormed again? Ew, I'm so grossed out, I've never seen anything like that before.
