Easy to tell if it is tape worms. Segments will show in stool. Look like rice.
How old is the dog? The heat can affect an older dog, say 10 or 12. It's been awfully hot here in Florida lately. A vitamin b12 shot can perk up his appetite.
But I agree with Unclefester, Tape worms sound likely.

Could be lots of things.What type feed are you feeding?How much feed are you feeding?How old is the dog?What type wormer are you using,how much and how often?Lots of different variables with too little information. Like the others have said, I would check for tapeworms and look at the feed you are feeding.If you are not on a monthly worming routine, I start ASAP and worm him for everything.Worming is cheaper than loosing a good dog. |

It’s best to take the dog to the vetirenar but I had a similar problem. I used to use food waste to feed my dogs, but over time I saw that my animals lacked vitamins and balanced nutrition. Found an excellent dry food Best Price Gravy Train Dog Food . Classic dry dog food, it is a balanced meal with a rich, tasty taste. The food is also easy to prepare and therefore convenient for the pet owner. You can serve it in crispy pieces or add warm water to create a sauce. Food is a favorite for many dogs because of its rich meat taste. Therefore, you can feed the dog in full regardless of its age or size.ke with you. |
