Little white wormsQ: We have 2 cats that stay in the house. i've noticed that one has worms. i'm sure the other does too since they share a litter box. my question is, what type of worms are they? and how do we get rid of them. we're also getting lots of fleas? what flea treatment do you recommend? thank you, carol A: The cats probably have tapeworm which can be treated using tape worm tablets for felines. you should use a product like frontline plus on your cats for flea control. you can also use a capstar tablet to kill the adult fleas. you should also treat the house for fleas as well.

Hair lossQ: Our choc. lab has minor hair loss around his eyes with a small spot of scabbing/abrasions. he also exhibits a small amount of hair loss on the knuckles, not sure if this is in relation to the eyes. he is an indoor dog that does not dig or rub on concrete. i know cats can exhibit the hairloss around the eyes due to parasite's. would this be the same with dogs? or can dogs have allergies? he seems to sneeze a good bit at times, nothing continually, rub at his face and have a very wet nose. thanks for your time and consideration. A: Sounds more like allergies to me. i would try oral benadryl at dose of 1/2 to 1 mg per pound twice daily as well as add brite coat xs and prozyme to each meal from 1800petmeds which can help skin long term. but should have allergy workup at vet

Eating fecesQ: My beagle eats poop from our other dog we own. how do i stop this. it is horrible. we have two ratt terriers, but the beagle just goes after the one. help A: Deter is a safe and effective easy to feed chewable tablet. it should be given to the dog whose feces are being eaten. it is used to stop dogs and puppies from consuming feces. consumption of feces (coprophagia) is a common but disturbing habit in dogs. the cause of this behavior is unknown, but this product is formulated to stop this.
