my dog threw up worms after a car ride

[jagsjorge]

what can i do to take the worms out and to prevent them from coming back. The works were long and thin. The dogs are only 4 months old. What could have caused them to g et in them. Once one my dogs found a dead bird and brought it home and I ussually let them drink water from a lake. Could that have cause it?

Get him to the vet, they can administer a dewormer.

As Karen pointed out, you will need to make an appointment with a Vet.

Your dog will be given medication for this condition, and likewise, you will be briefed on preventing it again in the future.

Keep us posted jagsjorge.

sounds like round worms, but I've never heard of a dog vomiting them.....
worms are very common, especially in puppies. Most pups are actually born with them already and the vet will usually deworm them at their first puppy visit. They can get them from many things--eating poop infected with them, fleas/flys laying eggs in their food, etc. Definitely get to the vet; its easy to get rid of them, but they can take up alot of your puppies nutrition if they are left untreated.

As others have already stated, it is a relatively simple procedure. Some medicine and regular admistering and soon enough, they are all gone. But do go and get it taken care as soon as you can.
