9 Month Baby Boy with ??? Worms...Help!!!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I am sure he has worms. I saw signs of the little white rice looking things in his number 2. Do I definately need to take him to the vet to get rid of them?

Your advice is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Worried Mom

It would be best to bring a stool sample to your vet so they can determine the treatment. Good Luck.

Sounds like tapeworm. It's EASILY treated. One pill and done!

call your vet first. our vet is really great you can call him and tell him whats wrong and sometimes he says bring them in but most of the time it's nothing serious and he says oh well that's ...... and I dont' have to see him just stop by and they will have the medicene he needs at the desk. we did that when my basset had worms...again and he just asked what they looked like and the meds were ready when I got there. saved a trip with car sick hound and the office visit charge.
