Maybe send your dog over with a bottle of disinfectant spray just in case ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dog-has-roundworm-and-im-going-out-of-town-tomorrow#post-744083 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 18:56:32 +0000 BSB 744083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: yeah, that's how I think of it. Glad we caught it before she got any worse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dog-has-roundworm-and-im-going-out-of-town-tomorrow#post-744077 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 18:55:47 +0000 BSB 744077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok, I found a friend that could take her. Phew! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dog-has-roundworm-and-im-going-out-of-town-tomorrow#post-744072 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 18:55:10 +0000 spaniellove 744072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Hope it all works out to find someone! It is an inconvenience but at least you were able to catch the worms thanks to the testing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dog-has-roundworm-and-im-going-out-of-town-tomorrow#post-743994 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 18:42:24 +0000 BSB 743994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: @spaniellove: Boo... Boarders can't take her. I understand. Trying to find a friend.</p> <p>Vet is giving her medication but she is still contagious and should be kept away from other dogs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dog-has-roundworm-and-im-going-out-of-town-tomorrow#post-743720 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 17:51:57 +0000 spaniellove 743720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You should definitely talk to the people you're boarding her with about the roundworms so they can decide how they want to handle it. I once had a puppy who came to me with roundworm and the treatment was to put him on medication - nothing complicated. But we did have to be very careful about making sure he didn't play with the same toys as my other dog, or drinking/eating out of the same dish, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dog-has-roundworm-and-im-going-out-of-town-tomorrow#post-743698 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 17:47:37 +0000 prettylizy 743698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty sure worms can be easily treated with meds and shouldn't be a problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dog-has-roundworm-and-im-going-out-of-town-tomorrow#post-743628 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 17:25:58 +0000 BSB 743628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eeek!</p> <p>My usual dog boarder wanted to make sure my dog was up-to-date with her shots and also have a fecal test done.</p> <p>My DH called the vet earlier this week and all of her shots are up-to-date but we just got the chance to take a sample of her stool in today. Just found out she has roundworm! Eeek!</p> <p>DH and I are leaving for airport to Boston tomorrow night and we were going to drop her off at the boarders before we go. </p> <p>I don't know if the boarders will take her if she has roundworm. Is it contagious?</p> <p>What's the usual treatment? I tried Dr. Google but didn't find much. I stopped reading after they said some cases result in surgery! </p> <p>I hope it's not serious and my dog can be treated with oral meds. </p>
