Common Types of Worms

Common types of worms
Common types of worms

There are six types of worms in dogs, they are: roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, tapeworms, heartworms and ringworms. The symptoms of each type of worm vary, as does the way in which dogs can be infected. Treating worms promptly reduces health risks to your dog, as well as the risk of the worms spreading.

While each parasite affects dogs differently, there are some general warning symptoms that dog owners should be aware of. Worms may cause:

  • Diarrhea
  • Abdominal pain
  • Weight loss
  • Vomiting
  • Poor coat appearance
  • Pot-bellied appearance
  • Lethargy
  • Dehydration
  • Deficiencies in nutrition and anemia
  • Intestinal blockage or pneumonia
  • Blood in stool (either bright red or darker purple.)

Preventative treatments, flea control, and clean-up of dog waste can help you avoid serious problems. Worms can be fatal so if you suspect your dog has worms call us on 0999 885 1219 / 035 528 5015 or message us on Facebook.

We have some sad news to share today - We will have to close Waggin Tails vet clinic for the foreseeable future. As many of you know, we are trying to find ways to support DAS financially so we set up a private vet clinic to try and raise funds.
