Oh man, this is very upsetting to me! i know im making this alot bigger than it really is, but i've never gone threw this with a dog and im just scared for him! the vet. assistant told me it'll be cleared up as soon as i get the med. in him but im still worried! Ill give you all a little story and then ask questions at the end!
***today cainan had a vet appt. at 10:30 so we headed outside to the truck to take him when he didnt want to get in the truck so he backed up and i pulled tighter on the leash...she wiggled outa the leash and took off, when i reached down to grab him before he took off too far i grabbed his back, and then he turned around and grabbed ahold of my hand with all his little teeth, he broke the skin in two places but i told him to not bite and headed back to the truck(totally my fault for grabbing him wrong, but i just reached down real quicK as to not loose him) so we headed off to the vet, I being airheaded forgot the fecal sample and the vet checked him out anyways, and said he looked good! we just had to drop the sample off after he went #2 later on that day! So after we finally went, i took it back to the vet and dropped it off! back at home i was starting to gather my laundry so i could take it to the laundry mat when the vet. assistant called me back! She broke the news to me that my little guy had round worms and to stop in anytime to grab his medication! so i headed straight there, i didnt want to waste any time! On the way to the vet i decided i needed to call the guy we purchased cainan from to inform him of what we found and if he had any left, to get them to the vet right away! I called and told him of my findings and the didnt seem to care @ ALL!! GRRR....!! All the man said was well the mom was infested with ALL kinds of worms before the puppies were born, she probably passed them on to the pups! (well thats nice to know, maybe you could have told me, or had them checked out properly before hand) but anyways, he thanked me for calling and then went on about our business! I finally started thinking about when we went to visit the puppies and how cainan looks awfully bloated, but coco was like that so i didnt put a second thought to it(and she didnt have any worms) Cainan has a hard time pooping to, and seems to walk around while pooping, trying to get it to come out! And so anyways, when we first went to buy him, he didnt live in the cleanest conditions and one of the puppies was throwing up ALOT and the other puppies were eating it...we then decided we DEF. didnt want the puppy who kept throwing up! And now that we look back...there was something wrong right then and should have said no because of the un-sanitary conditions and the things we saw going on in that dirty/awful kennel but all i knew was, i was taking a puppy out of that and give him a better life then he probably would have! ***
So my questions are...
1. because i was bit, and actually broke skin...is there a chance i could get it?
2. Coco was vacinated but she sniff each other and lick each other also...can coco still get it even tho she was vacinated at her last check up?
3. is there anything i should expect with his medication i gave him? will he throw up or have diahrea or anything?
thanks everyone for the help in advance!!!
