Whipworms are intestinal parasites which are about 1/4 inch ( 6 mm ) long. They live in the cecum and colon of dogs where they cause severe irritation to the lining of those organs. This results in watery, bloody diarrhea, weight loss, and general debilitation. They are one of the most pathogenic worms found in dogs.

Hookworms are parasites which get their name from the hook-like mouth parts they use to attach to the intestinal wall. They are only about 1/8" (3 mm) long and so small in diameter that you have to be looking very carefully to see them. Despite their small size, they suck large amounts of blood from the tiny vessels in the intestinal wall. A large number of hookworms can cause anemia. This problem is most common in puppies, but it will occasionally occur in adult dogs. In general, dogs tend to harbor very few hookworms compared to the number carried by infected dogs.

As their name implies, these are worms which have round bodies. On average, they are about 3-5 inches (7-12 cm) long. They live in the dog's intestines and consume partially digested food. Unlike hookworms, they do not attach to the intestinal wall; rather, they literally swim in their food. Roundworms, sometimes called ascarids, pass moderate numbers of microscopic eggs which are found in the dog's stool. Like hookworm eggs, they must be found with a microscope.

Heartworm is a major parasitic disease in dogs everywhere in the United States and worldwide. Mosquitoes transmit the disease. Veterinarians can effectively treat infected dogs, although preventing your dog from the initial infection is a far better option.

Heartworm preventions is best to give your pet from the beginning. The pet is given on pill by mouth each month.
Save your pet from the pain that Heartworm causes.

Please see your vet to get the proper medications. If these are not treated correctly, your pet can die. Once your veterinarian determines what type of worms your pet has, he will be able to advise you of treatment. Whipworms, Hookworms, Roundworms and Heartworms are all treated and in 10 days are treated again. The first treatment is to kill the adults.
The second is to any eggs that have hatched.
