Actually, the most common source of tapeworms for cats and dogs are fleas that they have ingested. - Steve N

Just looked this up and apparently tapeworm is picked up from infected raw meat or fish, so fleas wouldn't have anything to do with it.

I don't think a tape worm can be expelled by just killing fleas Little Bird. I think they will live and grow as long as there is food for them. Also, I believe dogs can pick up tape worm eggs from infected grass etc., dee -------Original Message------- From: lampley lane <mailto:[email protected]> Date: 06/29/09 19:25:03 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: CS>15 drops of SC will deworm ... Thanks Tel, but I am confused about the tape worm. In dogs, and I believe they are the same tape worms, all you do is keep the fleas off the dog, and the tape worms will be expelled out. A tape worm is only ingested by eating a flea. It doesn't make eggs in the dog, so no fleas, and the tape worms in a dog will die ( altho you can speed up the process with a wormer). And I've had this work with my dogs for 40 yrs. Is it different for humans? Blessings, Little Bird ________________________________
