Whip Worm: A tough battle.
- Whip worms are contracted by your dog ingesting the fecal matter of
other pets that have been infected and passed the worm eggs. Usually this
occurs when they are digging in the dirt because the eggs can remain viable in
the soil for years after the stool dissolves.
- Your dog will need to be checked for parasites often because these
worms are hard to get rid of, and they suck blood through the intestinal
wall.
- Whip worms can kill puppies quickly.
