The Little Red Caboose Has Pulled Into The Station!

Wow, I certainly didn't worry like that with Ribbon. She got to go to Chipolte, Panera, Starbucks, the post office and such. She started attending puppy classes when she was 8 weeks old with other very young puppies and came out of it loving everyone and everything. I trust my vet to clean thoroughly.

I certainly would not take her to a dog park or a forest preserve, but me and her smoozing at an ice cream stand and meeting kids was fun.
 
We toucheth not the floor until shots are complete! However, we do plan some carry-throughs for exposure.

I live near the infamous Fresno -- widely published officially as among the stupidest, drunkest, and dirtiest of cities. We just take care of our own as a way of life.

I also have familial really bad luck. With my family, if it can go wrong, it will. Simple. I have to protect myself against generations of bad luck.
 
Oh dear God! The fecal showed roundworms. OK, fine. Been there, had that. Shay had every worm known to dogdom. Multiple types of wormers over a length of time. JUST roundworms with Cubby. Piece of cake, I said, I will just use hearworm med and be fine I said. The vet agreed HW med as a viable option.


I will now have nightmares.

I gave bugbear the heartgard this morning. This evening after dinner he proceeded to poo and I saw a large worm being excreted. Encourged pushing. Stuck. Dog freaking out. Grabbed a shop towel (paper towel) and pulled. OMG. This dead roundworm 7 inches long came out. I am not kidding. Both ends were there so it didn't break. It was dead. It was SEVEN INCHES! OMG. I want to vomit.

Someone tell me that will be the ONLY nightmarish creature my dog will excrete. And yes, after 2 weeks, I am prepared for some suprises when my other two get their HW med this Friday.

Ohhhhhhh ewwwwwww. I don't even want to touch the puppy now! (Runs screaming from room).
 
Thanks Cara - for giving me something to take my mind off Baker's issues.

I'm assuming your breeder wormed little Cubby? I thought that was the easiest to get rid of. I know round worms are very common - although I agree disgusting. We adopted Toby when he was almost one & he had tape worms. ICK!:hide
 
Apparently, they didn't worm early and I think I took him before they wormed the pups since I kind of surprised them and took him on the early side. I have a bunch of stuff to update the breeder on like the MDR1 normal and my vet visit and such.
 
Baker got wormed 3 times before we got him - but she also stressed that issues could still pop up even after that.

I'm assuming you did the swab for the MDR1 gene? I'm wondering about using Revolution - wouldn't need that test I don't think.

Who knows - not thinking straight today...
 
I did indeed do the MDR1 cheek swab and got emailed the results Friday in time for my vet visit and he is normal/normal so I was fearless giving him a Heartgard 0-25 pounds when he is 7.4 pounds. Apparently it worked!

Ewwww.
 
A cruise is good! Husband and I got married on an Alaskan cruise in 2002. Hired a young man to be 100% servent to our Aussie for the week (and pull weeds in the backyard). Promised selves when we were dog-free we would cruise again. Hasn't happened yet.
