BYB rarely take good care of their dogs. Shelters here worm, test for heartworms, give flea and heartworm meds, vaccinate and sterilize. Great deal for $50-$100 and often shelters have free days where the critter is done with no adoption fee.

From: leanneb65 <[email protected]> To: [email protected] CC: Wow, I did not know that. I have one cat. I have never seen a flea on my cat and I have never seen a flea on this pup. The lady we got the pup from was a freak about fleas. I saw her pull a flea off the pup one time before we got the puppy. Maybe she got the flea from her. Either way, the puppy just pooped again, this time is was very light in color and another white thing was sticking out of her butt. I have dealt with puppies in the past before when we lived in Oregon and California. I have never ever seen sooo many dogs or puppies with worms or coccidia or giardia or any other weird ailment so much as I have dealt with here in Southeast Missouri. Conincidence? Not sure but it drives me crazy. I really thought getting a puppy from a home raised by a family was so much better than one from the pound. Our pound is awful and terrible. They offer shelter and food..that is it..nothing else. No care of any kind. Sad. Ugh! So frustrated!!! Will this pup be okay until we get her to the vet tomorrow? --- In [email protected], Peggy & The Girls <phrpg5@...> wrote: > > Tape worm comes from fleas. A dog or cat has to ingest the flea.
