worm in dogs poop..?

I have an english bulldog.. and i found a white small, short worm in his poop. I have only found one. That feces had been outside all night… I didn’t pick it up until this afternoon, when I found the one worm. He is on a monthly medicine to prevent heartworm, and it said to also help prevent other types of worms. He isn’t showing any signs.. no vomiting, dirrahea, hes a bulldog so hes always lazy, and he’s eating normally. I’m just worried about that one worm.. Could it have just been a worm that crawled into his poop because it had been out there all night? I am going to check when he goes tonight. Is it worth taking him to the vet just to be safe.. even though he is on preventative meds?? Just let me know what you would do if you were in my case.

Thanks
I just don’t want him to be suffering… but I don’t want to be over reacting..
Thanks!

Generic Heartworm medicine for dogs???

Has anybody used any of the Generic Heartgard hart worm meds on thier dogs before? I was going to order more heart worm meds on petshed.com and found the generics for half the price. They both seem to have the same active ingrediants…….anyone ever used them?

My wife doesn’t work over the summer and stays at home with the dog all day. Yesterday afternoon @ 4:30, she called me at work and said the dog was vomitting up worms & she was scared to touch the vomit. She said if I wasn’t ready to leave work, our neighbor had offered to help her clean it up and take the dog to the vet. I told her no, I was ready to leave work so it was fine.

When I got home, I scooped up the vomit into a container and she put the dog into my car. He vomitted again in the backseat.

We got him to the vet and wife filled out all the papers, talked to the doctors, etc. The treatment ended up costing 0.00 and the actual visit took about 1.5 hours. Since I had no money because I’d just paid the mortgage, she walked to the gas station and took it out of her savings account.

Without being asked she bought me a soda and a bag full of snacks from the gas station knowing I was hungry.

When we got home, I told her to clean up the vomit in the house and I’d clean up what was in the car.

She asked if we could do it together because she was afraid of the worms. She goes,"I don’t mind doing my fair share, I’m just really scared of the worms and don’t want to do it alone". I snapped at her, "No, just go in your room or something", but she came outside anyway and bought me cleaning supplies for the car.

After I scooped up the intial vomit that was full of worms, she offered to scrub and sanitize the carpet but I told her to leave me alone and go back in the house because she was annoying me.

So she went to her home office and closed the door for 30 minutes. Then she ordered two pizzas, one with jalepenos the way I like it and paid for it.

I didn’t talk to her the entire night, even when we ate dinner. Finally, she went and got in bed. While she was laying down I asked her, "Did you give the dog his meds?"

She said she forgot, so I rolled my eyes and sucked my teeth and went to give the medicine.

She got up and helped me, then we went to bed

My 100lb 6 year-old choclate lab got a tape worm. Hes had it about two days. I gave him Drontal Plus and want to know when he will throw it up or poop it out.
I did take my dog to the vet. She’s the one who prescribed him the meds.

Why do my dogs breathe like this while sleeping?

I have two boxer-pit puppies that are almost 5 months old. They are inside for the week because of all the snow…But I’ve noticed that when they are asleep they breathe really, really fast. Why do they do this?

They have tape worms (on treatment for it), if that means anything. But I don’t think it’s the meds or the worms. They come inside every night and they always breathe like that since I got them (at 2 months old)…

I have two other older, smaller dogs and they don’t breathe like that…
