Pets need a fecal exam every six months.
Roundworm infections in dogs are commonly diagnosed via a fecal exam. Roundworms produce microscopic eggs that are shed in a dog's feces and these can be identified by a veterinarian by examining a sample of fecal material. Roundworms may also be diagnosed in cases of severe infestation through the animal vomiting up the adult parasites or passing adults in feces.
no way of telling w/o an exam. If the parts are still aligned a splint might be enough, but if the ends are pointing every which way surgery is often needed.
no.. sadly but he does in fact eat their fecal matter ~dchughes :P
Many dog breeds like to lick. Often times you just need to go and see a dog in person to find the right one.
First you need to determine if your dog has worms or not. Take a fresh fecal sample in to your vet and they can check for the presence of any parisites and then give you some medication to de-worm your dog against the type of worms he/she has.
Ecoli is spread when one dog eats the poo of another dog that has ecoli.
its either a MQC or no
If he doesn't improve, take him in to a vet for an exam.
Unless you or the people who share your dishes are immucomprimised or if you have small young children that share the dishes, there is no reason, why dog bowls and human dishes cannot be washed together. If they have fecal matter on them tho, they will need to be cleaned seperately, preferrably with bleach.
You should never give a dog any medication that hasn't been specifically prescribed for that dog by a veterinarian. That said, phenylbutazone is used for dogs. The tricky questions (and the reason you need a vet) are how much, how often, and does your dog in particular need it.
Nothing.. wash your feet! And deworm your dog. Take in a fecal sample from over a 2 day period and have your Veterinarian check over your dog and also check the fecal sample to see what all types of internal parasites your dog has. The will help you to determine which type of deworming medication you should use. Always repeat the deworming in 2 weeks.
The other dog can get tape worms from the affected puppy only if that dog were to eat the puppy's fecal matter, which is where there would be tape worms.
