OMG the scariest thing happened this past weekend. My cousin brought his new dog over, I would say about 3 months old (SUPER CUTE). When I saw him he had this huge pot belly, and I said “oh cute, his belly is so round” my cousin answered and said “yeah, he just ate, his belly is weird, it’s just naturally round and big”. I started researching and found that dogs with a “pot belly” is one of the signs of being infected with ROUNDWORMS. I quickly called my cousin and told him, he took the dog to the vet and INDEED, poor old Buster was infected. The vet recommended some meds but we found Worm Protector 2x Double Strength (8 fl oz) and we got that for a fraction of what the vets were charging. Buster is okay now. I just wanted to warn everyone and advise people to make sure their pets are adequately protected. The roundworms could of been easily transmitted to humans just be stepping in their poop, or soil that has been infected! More than 90% of puppies are born with roundworms or acquire them shortly after birth from their mother. Your pets can easily get infected because roundworms eggs are resilent and can survive in areas such as parks, playgrounds and yards.
Some signs that you should watch for is:

  • Diarrhea
  • Malnutrition
  • Respiratory Distress
  • Vomiting
  • Loss of appetite
  • Weekness
  • Weight loss
  • Dull or scruffy fur
  • Swollen abdomen (”pot belly”)
  • Eggs and adult worms visible in feces
