BUGGA-LUGZ Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 (edited) If his fur is getting in the way might be an idea to give him a little trim in his bum area. grooming at the butt area.. that's a first for me!! And prob wont be the last!!! Edited April 17, 2009 by BUGGA-LUGZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal House Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Has he been wormed? (in case you missed it the first time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUGGA-LUGZ Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Years ago I had a Pekingese.... trimming of the bum and anal expressing was a common occurence... you get used to it after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W Sibs Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 Has he been wormed? (in case you missed it the first time) well, the lady i got Charlie from said that he has been flea and worm treated.. and i only got Charlie last week. but, i'm not so sure because when I bought Charlie home.. he had fleas... i had to give him a flea treated bath on his first day home! so, i'm not quite sure about the worm now.. that's why i'm going to take him to the vet tomorrow to check.

BUGGA-LUGZ Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 The breeder should have told you when he was wormed and what they used. I would give him a dose anyway...its better to be safer and it wont hurt him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles fleas transmit tapeworm so make sure that you use a wormer such as Drontal that treats for all intestinal worms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, okay then. If he hadn't been flea treated, more than likely not wormed (or maybe not properly) either. The vet can advise about routine treatment as well as heartworm, tick prevention etc (if you are in a tick prone area) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poochmad Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I'd just take him to the vet anyway and get him checked over. The beauty of taking him now before a vaccination is due, is that the first trip can be a nice experience for him so he will happily go in future. Could be worms, could be anal glands, could be his hair, could be any number of things. While you're at the vet, you can ask him/her all the questions you have and build up a rapport now.
