Even something strange like fabric or string? I would suggest you take him to your vet, as this could be something serious. Hi Tracy,

I did not see this comment!!! Just good hygiene will prevent coming into contact with parasites. I sure hope the meds took care of your female! Hey Chris, The best thing to do is take your dog (gross part) - and poop samples in plastic "zip lock bags" to your vet. They will tell you exactly which worm it is (probably tape worm), and provide the proper meds that will target those wiggly suckers specifically. Let us know!!! Martin Hey Christabelle & Chris:

I just got her on Tuesday, November 18/08 and today we found worms in her vomit and diarreah. I have called the vet for the medication to clear it up, but I am wondering if there is anything else that I can do for her until we get the meds either tomorrow or Sunday, as everything has to be flown in where I live. How long does it take for worms to invade a dog from the start to finding them? Also how common is it for humans to get it from their pets? Please let me know, as I have 5 girls ages 3-12 years old and she is an indoor dog. What can I do to protect my girls from getting it? Sincerely, Christabelle Good day,
