Bollocks. Bollocks. Bollocks. Another call to the vet Monday. Now I'm concerned about what her possible parasite load may actually be. And whether this may potentially be contributing to the coughing. She's not coughing up blood. There is no blood in her poo. And this is the first time I noticed any moving things where they shouldn't be. Her anal area looks clear. So we haven't gotten to the 'scooting' stage yet. Suggestions? Help? Bugger - one thing improves, another thing crops up. --- In [email protected], "freddyscribbles" <freddyscribbles@...> wrote: > > I took Pia out this morning, and as I'm always relatively attentive to a dog's bathroom habits and I curb even though that is not the status quo in the area (country), I noticed a couple of small, white worms in her poo this morning.

She is still eating well. She is still eating and drinking well. Her health, aside from the occasional cough, is fine. The coughing is subsiding. The vet said her heart and lungs sounded find on our last visit. > ------------------------------------ We are now on Facebook! Join today! http://www.facebook.com/groups/chihuahuasclubYahoo!
