Dog licking his bun hole2007-11-25 3:00:59

Take a stool sample into Vet and they will check for worms. Or they can take a sample at the office.

It does sound like he has worms - they get them from fleas - and with out something like Frontline or Advantage where you put it on them once a month - the worms will just come back - it's just a visous cycle. I'm not sure what the kind of worms their called but my cat's had worms a couple times and it's a 2 injection process - 1 injection and then 10 days later another injection and the worms were gone. But, I also put the Advantage on my cat which took care of the worms. Also, there's a thing that dogs do (cats could possibly do it to) but they lick themselves (it's like a disorder) My brother's dog did it so bad that he would actually lick bald spots on himself - I forgot what it's called (chronic licking disorder or something like that)- your vet would know. But, take your dog to the vet's and if you can - take a fresh stool sample in with you - just put it in a baggie. Good luck to you and your dog. And if he does have worms - make sure you get some Frontline or Advantage or he'll just get worms again. BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY THAT - IT'S TRUE.

No your dog does not have worms. I have a mini dachshund and he licks his butt hole sometimes. I think he is cleaning it or maybe it is sore from a bad poop or something.
