I can't identify themQ: Recently my male cat has lost a lot of weight, and today i saw a short white worm hanging from his tail that was about the length of my pinky nail. i've looked all over and can't figure out what it is. what is it and what should i use to treat it? A: You could bring a stool sample to your veterinarian for a positive id of the type of worm. you can also use a broad spectrum wormer such as panacur-c. this product is given once a day, based on the weight of the pet, for 3 consecutive days.

Pooping and peeing in houseQ: Hi, my family bought a dachshund in august of this year. as of today he is 4 months old, we bought him when he was 9 weeks old. he is the sweetest dog but we are having trouble potty training him. he won't use it in his crate while we are gone, which is great. as soon as we get home, we let him out to potty and he does and we also reward him with praises and treats, but he still has accidents in the house and whats crazy is that he has a favorite room to pee and another one to poop in! i can't never catch him in the act. he stays locked in his crate during the day for 8 hours with no accidents..and we take him out every hour and a half in the evenings. how can i get him to totally house break? i never used paper, i thought that by taking him out, he would eventually get the idea and he has somewhat. any suggestions? thanks A: You may want to go out more often than every 90 minutes. try 60 minutes or 45 minutes.

Flea/tick treatment for 8 pound dogQ: We have a year old chihuahua and he is about 8 pounds (7.70 lbs back in 08/03). we are looking at getting frontline plus and was wondering if it would be ok to get the small dog dosage for him. we also have a 24 pound pug we want to get on frontline plus as well but know which dosage to get him. what would you recommend? thanks. :-) A: We cannot recommend using a product in a manner that contradicts the labeled instructions; therefore you would have to use the frontline topspot item #3088 on the chihuahua. for the pug, the frontline plus medium would be fine.(item 10458)
