Well do you give them intestinal wormer every 3 months and heartwormer every month and have a good flea control program?

That’ll stop the worms.

Go.Back.To.The.Vet…..k? Or choose another vet to go to.

Obviously get her treated again & ask your vet how to PREVENT her from getting them again. Different types of worms are transmitted in different ways. Educate yourself on what types of worms she has and how she could be getting them. Also some over the counter dewormers do not work as well as one you get from the veterinarian. Remove the cause and put her on a heartworm preventative like Interceptor. This will prevent many other types of worms as well.

You can try many things to help your dog get rid of the worms. You can try giving your dogs pumpkin seed. Pumpkin seed are good (for people too) but you usually won’t have to crush them. You can put them in your dogs food or just in a bowl and they sometimes go crazy over them, but that is more for maintenance, I believe.

Aloe leaves (with spines cut off) ground in food processor with Diatomaceous Earth is good for most worm species.

Freshly ground cloves, Wormwood, and cayenne pepper ground small enough to put in capsules and give 2 a day for 3 days then will take care of the worms, repeat in a week for three weeks to make sure all eggs/worms are destroyed. This will take care of all worms.

But I still think seeing the vet and getting the medication for worms is the best way to go about it. I have nothing against wholistic natural remedies but some things have to be treated fast!

Hope I helped!

The vet must have not given you enough medications to get rid of all the worms. Many times, they will lay eggs and if you don’t give them the right medication long enough to not just get rid of the worms but also the eggs, they will come back. It’s very important to test your dog to see just what kind of worm it is, then to make sure they give you enough of the medication to get rid of everything. If you don’t get rid of the eggs, they will just keep coming back. So ask your vet to test again and make sure he gives you enough of the right medication. Many people don’t think about the eggs that the worms can lay in your dog. Best of luck to your dog. Hope I helped.
