Dog Wormers
Intestinal parasites or worms are common in domestic dogs. It is normal for puppies to pick up roundworms from their mothers both in the womb and then from her milk, so we routinely worm both the breeding bitch and her litters of puppies to minimise the transmission from one generation to the next.
Our current reccommendation is that puppies are wormed every 2-4 weeks up until 6 months of age and thereafter at least once every 3 months. Dogs that scavenge and particularly those in areas with sheep farming, may need to be wormed monthly throughout their lives.
Puppies with heavy infestations of intestinal roundworms (Toxacara species) may be slow growing, skinny with a pot belly and may have persistant diarrhoea or breathing problems. Whilst the worms themselves remain in the intestine, developing larvae can spread through other body tissues, forming cysts there which can hatch out sometimes years later when the dog is under physiological stress (illness or more commonly, pregnancy). This can then lead to active infection again.
In adulthood, it is rare to see health problems in the dog itself due to worm infestation, but they are capable of excreting infective roundworm eggs in their faeces. These can be a human health risk - it is estimated that up to a hundred children in the UK each year have eye problems due ingested worm larvae settling in the eye (the technical term is Ocular Larva Migrans), so we strongly advise regular worming even if your dog seems perfectly healthy.
