DEWORMING:

Worms (hookworms, roundworms and tapeworms) commonly infect dogs and cats and also pose a threat to humans.

How do dogs and cats pick up worms?

Worms or internal parasites can be picked up by:

• licking the ground or drinking contaminated water
• ingesting infected fleas which can transmit tapeworms
• through placenta before birth from mother to the puppies
• through milk of mother to the unweaned kittens & puppies
• from scavenging or hunting
• eating raw offal (could be infected with tapeworm cysts)

How do I know that my pet has worms?

Pets rarely pass worms, and even if they do, you will rarely see them.

The symptoms of a worm infestation can be one of the following:
• Bloody stools
• Loss of appetite
• Anaemia (pale gums and eye membranes)
• Diarrhea
• Weight loss
• Poor growth
• Pot-bellied appearance
• Coughing
• Loss of vision in one or both eyes
• Epilepsy

Tapeworm segments are released with the droppings (faeces) and are clearly visible in the faeces or around the a**s of the animal. These segments look like rice grains.
