You should get a fresh (within 24 hours and not frozen) fecal sample to the vet to have them test it for parasites. If your dog is a puppy or has not been there in a while I would reccomend taking the dog in for an exam along with the fecal sample. They need to see your dog within the past year and have a current weight on your dog in order to dispense any medications.Originally Posted by BC_MoM
They can give you the right de-worming medicines NOT antibiotics (unless your dog is ill or injured other than the worms.
How big are the worms?
Yes heartworm is another parasite all together, one that will NOT show up on a fecal, only in blood tests. BUT once your dog is free of heartworm the heartworm preventative can be given monthly which will prevent heartworms but also some intestional parasites too like hookworm, roundworm & whipworm.
