I bought my puppy a week ago, she had fleas like crazy. i cleaned her gave her 3 baths got all the fleas off of her. i saw noodle things in her poop. She went to the vet and they gave her medicine for roundworm, her shots and flea drops. Well i think she might have tapeworm, the vet said the next appointment they will give her something, BUT, thats a month away, should i get her something myself. it just seems to far away. Plus she has been scratching still, but i do NOT see any fleas on her, could she have dry skin from the 3 baths. please someone give me advice.

You should try with vegetable oil, sunflower oil or olive oil as a laxative for your dog if you think it has stomach problems.Otherwise I don’t know what you should do rather then wait 1 month

wow where the hell did you buy this dog? my first part of advice to you is that next time, screen the owner and make sure they have the pups up to date on shots and de-wormers.
you can stick it out if you wish. i personally would ask another vet if there’s anything you can do in the mean time (or if they can treat her there instead), as just going out and buying something might not be the best option if you don’t really know or understand what you’re doing. now the scratching could be nothing serious or she could have allergies, my APBT scratches often when he doesn’t get his meds
If the pet had fleas,it definately has hookworms also.You should purchase a safe wormer called Panacur,it is given by weight and three days in a row and can be purchased at any vet clinic over the counter.For the fleas I would suggest bathing it in the Dawb dish washing liquid,this will kill all the fleas.If the pet is scratching Try dipping the pet in a Good dip called LYM dip and follow directions on container.This can be purchased at any feed outlet,or online at any Pet supply.
