Ok... I went to the vet today to get a record of Milo's shots to take with me to puppy school tomorrow, and found out that there was some mix up and 3 weeks ago they were supposed to call me to let me know that Milo has worms! and that I needed to come in and pick up a prescription... 3 Weeks!!!
I'm totally freaking out. I don't even know how he got worms, because before that visit to the vet, he hadn't even been outside. Apparently he has a tapeworm, and we're to give him his meds as prescribed and take him back to the vet in 3 more weeks.
There's no worms that I can see in his poop, and he doesn't seem to be over eating, or scratching his bum. But 3 weeks seems like a really long time with nothing being done. Who knows how long he had it before that visit to the vet. Is this something that I need to be freaked out about? I'm really worried about my little guy.
