What kind of worms has she been diagnosed with?
ADD:
Ok then, tapworms you get by eating the affected dog/ctas feces & they usually get it by eating a flea or another dogs/cat affected feces.
So just clean up whatever the puppy had its butt on however you clean, and as long as your child (and you)washes her hands after handling the puppy till the worms arent in the poop anymore & dont eat the poop, it should be all fine.
Almost all puppies are born with some sort of form of parasitic worm. During pregnancy, the mother dog produces hormones that make the placenta an ideal environment for roundworm larvae. These larvae are then transmitted to the unborn puppies and can even be found in the mother’s milk after the puppies’ birth. For this reason, it is very important for new dog owners to deworm their new puppy between 2 and 12 weeks of age, and then each month until the puppy reaches 6 months.
Even once the puppy is dewormed, however, dogs can contract worms through fleas or from simply walking around outside. Heartworms can even be transmitted from mosquito bites. As a result, it is very important to make sure your dog is protected through the use of flea medication such as Frontline or K9 Advantix. Heartworm prevention medication is also mandatory for any dog.
