Whipworms symptoms
Sometimes there are no visible symptoms, and in
other cases animals may exhibit signs of anemia, upset stomach, loss
of weight, hemorrhaging, and diarrhea. Whipworms are one of the few
parasitic worms that are not transmitted to humans.
Whipworms treatment
Oral medications and monthly oral medications
for prevention.
Whipworms prevention
A regular preventative de-worming cycle is
encouraged for all healthy pets. It is recommended that you check
the efficacy of de-worming medicines carefully as they are not
equal, and may target different species of parasitic worms.
To reduce the chance of re-infection and infection to humans:
• Preventative oral medication
Your best value is
to buy a 12 or 24 month supply from large internet wholesalers that
specialize in filling pet prescriptions in bulk. You can usually
save an extra 10% or more by filling an order over a prescribed
dollar amount.
