I have a 7 month old dachshund. She has what we refer to as "butt-worms." She has been scooting her butt across the floor and her poop is very inconsistent. I also saw a part of the worm on her backside after she pooped. I know this sounds gross.

Anyway, when my cat was a kitten (someone abandoned her at work, so I took her in), I took her to the vet for a rabies shot and the vet went crazy doing stuff on her. One of the things he gave her was a combination flea, tick, and worm medication. At least this is what I remember. He said he liked it cause it helped with ALL those things.

Anyway, is there a dog version of this? It’s possible that I may have to just do frontline and a wormer. I have heard there is something better than frontline. What do you guys use? Also, what about worms?

Okay. It all started about a week ago. Sadie puked like kind-of white or gray liquid. My other dog puked, too, only it was chunks of her soft food.. Sadie is my 7 year-old dachshund. Gidget is a cockapoo that’s 1 year-old. Well, we didn’t think much of it. I started giving them Dog Vitamins. They didn’t act sick or anything after it. And that’s all they did. No diharrea, or anything like that. Well, yesterday, Sadie acted lazy. She was rubbing her butt on the carpet A LOT. More than usual. I picked her up a few times, and she started crying. She stopped when I put her in my lap. I fed her some beef flavor soft food, and gave her a vitamin, along with Gidget, who didn’t have any problems and was still acting normal. Well, I checked Sadie’s nose, and it was cold and wet. My mom checked her bones, like her spine, skull, ribs and legs, but she didn’t show signs of discomfort. She did take a big fall a day or two before the new symptoms started. I also rubbed on her tummy, but all she did was breathe a little heavy, like normal. She’s still eating, and I fed her Lamb & Rice soft food and gave her a vitamin today, as well as Gidget. Her stomach is very tight and hard. She is still drinking water, too. I tried "expressing the anal glands", but nothing happened! I also bought her medicine for worms and gave it to her yesterday, but it hasn’t showed any signs of improvement either. She was acting semi-normal today. She hasn’t puked, and I checked her poop today. Her poop wasn’t diarrhea, and it was a sort-of yellow color. I didn’t see any signs of blood. So what can it be? I’m scared it might be bloat…

my dog once had pretty bad heart worms before(when she was much younger), so she had to go on the treatment where we had to keep her in a cage for a while(not being active) and let the stuff put into her kill the worms.

after that was all over with we putted her on the heartguard prevention but after a couple years my mother would keep on forgetting to get some more and i realized my dog was getting bit a lot with mosquitoes but shrugged it off.

we finally brought her to get a checkup for the first time in years, and she now has them again according to a bloodtest taken. doc says it cant be so severe but he’s only giving us the option to just give my dog prevention again(we cant do another treatment because she’s too old) i know i must get rid of them or else theyll kill, and i’v heard that there’s some medicine that vets dont tell us about that can get rid of heart worms, is this true? if not is there any other way to save my dog :<
dachshund btw

We took him to the vet and they gave him medicine to get rid of them, we are on week 4 and he still has them. What do I do?
