I got a new puppy and she has worms... i got her on friday and she got the dewormer and shots.... today she had a solid poop and i spread it out and did not see any worms.... i have three other dogs and i was wondering when will it be safe to let her be around them also is it safe for her to play with one of them for a little while as long as she does not poop around them also if i am holding her and then go hold another dog will they get worms... like is it as contagious as parvo? thanks!!!!
Answer
Puppies have worms, they always do, always will. Clean up after her when she goes and use a sanitizer like bleach. Your dogs should not get the worms unless ingested. I believe hookworms can burrow into the skin, but it would be uncommon for that to happen. It is also best to have your personal dogs on a monthly wormer, which is usually included in most heartworm medications. I foster dogs, and most of them come to me with worms. Sometimes I do not clean up right away because i can't or i didn't know the dog went. My dogs have never contracted the worms but they are also on monthly wormers, (interceptor, heartguard) Your pup will need to be dewormed at least twice maybe three times.
