Hi I think my dog has worms. She has lost weight but she is still eating and doesn't appear sick - at all. I just treated all my pets for fleas recently. What do I do for worms? And if I treat her, should I also treat my other dog and cat? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi, Do you know when the animals were last wormed.

Yes it would be advised to worm all the animals at the same time and keep a record of the date the treatment was given. you can get pet wormers from any vet as they are better at doing the job than pet store bought wormers...

You also might want to take all your animals to the vet and get them checked for heart worm. I'm not sure how much it is over there, but i get my dogs treated for heart worm by my local vet once a year and it cost around $80 for each dog. My dogs also get treated for any other worms by tablets I buy from the vet, which isn't that much either I think maybe around $45.00 for both dogs. Goodluck with your animals.
