It is possible for a puppy to actually be born with worms, if the mother is infected with a certain type at the time of birth. And because some worms may be hard to detect, it is important that you test and treat your puppy accordingly so that it can grow without the influence of a worm presence. Doing so can save the very life of your puppy. You will need to become familiar with different types of worms if you are going to spot their call signs. The tapeworm is fairly common, and can infect a dog simply from ingesting a single flea. Tapeworm is hard to get rid of because it burrows down deep into the intestinal tract, but they are easy to spot in the puppy's stool sample. Your puppy will need immediate medication to treat against tapeworm. Puppies aren't the only ones who may get worms- so you should be careful of cross contamination. Children are at high risk when playing with a puppy who has worms, especially with the roundworm. Roundworm can be passed along by simply playing with a puppy who is infected. Hand washing techniques will safeguard against infection in this case. Worms can be difficult to get rid of since not all medication is able to get rid of pupa that may be in the puppy's system. Some medications will only target adult worms, and then leave the door open for the offspring to take control. This means you will likely be giving the puppy miultiple rounds of medication to protect against future generations of worms. The best practice to use is to simply continue medication even after symptoms of worms disappear. Just because the symptoms go away doesn't always mean that the woms are gone for good. You should continue the medication for a short period of time after the symptoms go away, as indicated by a veterinarian. The instructions on the medication may also give you a clue as to when you should stop treatment, and how to tell your puppy is cured of worms. Some medications may not be friendly to puppies, so you should read instructions carefully. Puppies are underdeveloped and may not be able to take stronger medications that adult canines can. Some types of dogs may need to vary medication amounts, so it is best to talk to a veterinarian or pet professional in your community for further information. Final Thoughts If you suspect your puppy of having worms, you should act immediately. In some cases a puppy may show little to no signs at all, aside from eating more or acting slightly different. Try to stay in tune with your puppy to know when something is wrong, and respond accordingly.
