What Are The Most Frequently-reported Kinds Of Worms In Dogs?
Whipworms are intestinal worms that come from a contaminated area. Dogs pass whipworm eggs through their stools, where reinfestation occurs rapidly.
Roundworms (or ascarids) are intestinal worms that can infect a puppy at birth or an adult dog through contaminated rodents, soil, or stool. Roundworm eggs mature within the intestine and lay eggs that pass in a dog's feces. Reinfestation is almost certain to occur.
Tapeworms can come from fleas or animals. They live in the tissue or intestines, and segments are passed through the dog's stools. Tapeworm heads stay in the dog's intestine, keep growing more segments, and keep the infection active and worsening.
Hookworms enter a dog via ingestion or through the skin. Hookworm larvae infest a dog, attach to the intestinal lining, and feed on blood. They lay eggs, which a dog passes through its stool. These eggs turn into larvae, and the cycle begins again.
Heartworms affect a dog's heart, blood vessels, and lungs. Preventative medication is important for every dog throughout the course of life.
