Why do my puppies have severe diarrhea and white seeds in their poop?

If the white specks in his poo look like grains of rice or sesame seeds then it is likely your dog has tape worm. ask your vet to treat your puppy for the parasites he diagnosed via a fecal sample (if he has not done a fecal sample, take some fresh poop to your vet for a fecal exam). You may also want to start with flea prevention as tape worm is transmitted by fleas.

Yes these are likely to be tapeworms. I would strongly suggest an immediate check up to confirm diagnosis and treat appropriately. Effective treatment on prescription will quickly resolve the problem.

Helix could have tapeworms, which would cause the diarrhea and lack of energy. Tapeworms looks like grains of rice in the feces. I am concerned that he threw up all his food, is lethargic, and the home remedy isn't working. I would take him into a vet now to get checked out. Best of luck.

The food change could be causing the color of the stool and the bad smell, but the rice sized things look like tapeworms. Tapeworms required praziquantel to treat, which is prescription only from the vet. You need to tell your friend to take him into the vet in the morning to get this treated. He will also need to be treated for fleas, as fleas carry and transmit tapeworms to dogs. Have her discuss his diet with the vet as well so he can get the best one for him. I hope this helps!

There are a number of causes of diarrhea in puppies Lena's age, and a common one is intestinal worms. It's important to make sure she is up to date on her deworming treatments, and I would give her one now in case she is not. I recommend Drontal or Panacur. Be sure to give her one dose now, and another dose in two weeks to kill all the worms. She should then be dewormed every three months. Other causes of diarrhea include GI illness, parvovirus, eating something rotten, or a foreign body. I can give you a home remedy to try to see if that helps. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, she starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. Good luck, I hope this helps!

Yes, they look like tapeworm segments. Dogs get tapeworms by eating infected fleas so you have to get the fleas under control as well as treating the tapeworms. Since he is not eating a losing weight you should have him examined by your vet.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Chica has tapeworm. Tapeworm are usually from fleas (current or previous infestation). Most general puppy dewormers do not kill tapeworm. Chica should get a dwormer that gets tapeworm, either drontal or cestex or droncit. Your boxer can not get tapeworm from those segments, she would need to have ingested a flea as well. I hope this helps and I wish Chica the very best!
