My dog has worms in his poop. What medicine can treat his stomach worms?

In dogs, currently erythromycin is considered the drug of choice in treating campylobacter. That being said, we are seeing cases with drug resistance with this bacteria, so ideally a culture and sensitivity is performed to determine the best drug in each individual situation. This is a bacteria that can also make humans ill, so precautions should be taken to prevent transmission including good hygeine/hand washing and avoiding the pet being around people with suppressed immune systems.

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. This worm looks like a tapeworm. Cassie should be treated with a deworming medication such as Panacar (fenbendazole) which treats roundworms, hookworms and tapeworms. This treatment is generally once daily for 3 days. Then, this same treatment should be repeated again in 3 weeks, and again in 3 months. This is done to ensure that all lifestages of the worms are treated by the medication. If there are any other pets in the household too, they need to be treated/dewormed too! I hope this is helpful!

Hazel is adorable! Antibiotics are the treatment of choice for campylobaacter in dogs. Did your vet not prescribe any? It is not really a treatment for it but it will reduce the shedding of the bacteria from her. This article will explain more: https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/campylobacter-infection-in-dogs I would suggest two things: 1. Probiotic. I think Fortiflora is the best. One packet on her food daily. I would treat her for one month minimum (one box = 30 days). Do not use human probiotics or dairy products. http://www.allivet.com/p-1130-purina-pro-plan-veterinary-diets-fortiflora-dog-supplement-box-of-30.aspx 2. Immume system booster: https://www.chewy.com/dr-harveys-e-mune-boost-herbal-dog/dp/121670 Hope this helps. Best wishes and Happy New Year!

I would continue the antibiotics until they are gone. When you are almost done with the antibiotics I would have your vet recheck her feces to ensure all of the campy is gone. Sometimes it takes more than one course of meds to get completely rid of the bacteria. Also you can add In a probiotics which will help to build up fit immunity. Also, make sure she isn’t going back outside and reinfecting herself by eating dirt or drinking stagnant water. I hope this helps

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This means that Ace would benefit from being started on another dose of deworming medications. The best medication for this is usually chosen based on a fecal examination to determine which parasite is affecting Ace. The same deworming medication can be given to your other dog. I recommend that you have them evaluated by a your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a great day!

No, antibiotics will not kill the worms. It is likely Leia has roundworms, and that requires a deworming treatment. You can get a deworming treatment over the counter, and I'd recommend using Panacur.

Hello. Your veterinarian just wants to make sure your pet is as healthy as possible & that any infectious cause of her illness are taken care of first. Then you can worm her & hopefully this will take care of all her problems. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
