Whipworms

Whipworms, like hookworms, are bloodsuckers and they live in the large intestine. There are usually no outward signs of whipworms.

If symptoms do appear, they include: diarrhea, weight loss, dehydration, and bloody stools. There are medications available for treatment. Since symptoms of whipworms rarely appear, it is important to have your dog tested at least once a year and to put him on a preventative medication.
