Where do you find diatomeceous earth? Also is garlic powder safe? I thought garlic was toxic for dogs. Thanks for the info.

I was told by my aunt that if you mix one full cigarette in a can of tuna that it gets rid of worms in about 44 hours.

RE: Remedies for Worms
Food grade diatomaceous earth is the organic natural "effective" worming ticket for all beings - human, livestock, and pets. For livestock, we feed it free choice and in their daily herb-grain-seed mix. Incoming rescues with gray gums, scruffy coats stick their heads into a 5 gallon bucket of food grade diatomaceous earth and eat it and eat it and eat it, as they know they need it. It doesn't take 2 weeks for their gums to turn pink and their coats to look nice. Same for puppy and kitten rescues with pot bellies, loose stools, etc., within 48 hours of feeding food grade diatomaceous earth their pot bellies are gone and their bowel movements are firm.
In my 14 years of raising and rescuing llamas, goats, chickens, guineas, peafowl, pigs, foxes, wolves, dogs, cats, reptiles, and more, food grade diatomaceous earth is the ONLY wormer we use and it works without poisoning the animals or people.
Makes everyone's lives simple, safe, and effective!

Try it. It REALLY works, no if's ands or but's.
PS - I've been really disappointed with fecal testing. From my research, fecals are only 20 to 25% accurate for people or pets. After taking a stool sample of a new rescue that had a worm in it I could see and another from a new rescue that was scooting acrossed the ground, the vet found no worms...that was 15 years ago, when I quit doing fecals and just started feeding DE daily to all incoming rescues, fosters, and our own animal guardians.
Don't get me wrong, I don't mind spending money on our animal friends, but I do detest "wasting" money on inaccurate results. Since DE is effective against all intestinal worms and parasites, feeding it daily just takes care of the issue and helps keep everyone healthy and worm free.

RE: Remedies for Worms
I just have to say that just because there are doctor's during this day and vets and medication, that there is always a home remedy figuring it out sometimes not so easy. What do you think people did before them?

I have a dog that has worms. He eats like a pig but doesn't gain any weight. What do I do?
Editor's Note: Take a stool sample to the vet and they can tell you what kind of worms he has and what kind of wormer he needs.

I like Italian dressing on my steak and hamburgers. I had a piece left over with two tablespoons of Italian dressing on it, so I gave it to my 11 week old Puppy, the next morning my Puppy threw up 5 long white worms. Them when I took her out to go potty she Pooped nothing but a long white sack as big around as a "Sharpie Pen" and 5-6 inches long. I opened the white sack with a stick, and there were all of these long dead white worms inside. I hope this helps.

EPAZOTE (a plant) the best remedy for worms. Used in Mexico and all the world. Use with caution on people - can cause miscarriage.
I gave to my dog (shepherd) about 5-10 leaves for a few days, when he got worms, seems they have gone away.

RE: Remedies for Worms

He'shavin a hard time keeping up with his food, but I know the area I am in, and if I took him to a shelter, they would a put him down because no one would take him. Is there any help from like the state or non profit I can get, so I can help this seemingly good dog? Please respond to critch-custom-creations AT hotmail.com

snuff in wet food will kill all but heart worms. Just feed them on a Friday night and by Sunday all gone.
Just put the dog outside.

unknown problem
On Sunday, I went to visit a friend. While I was there, she informed me that she had found a dog under her boat out in the back yard. Mind you, the houses are at least a country field apart. It looked to be starved. Bones sticking out everywhere. I took it home with me because her husband was going to put it out of its misery. I couldn't live with that. I got him some puppy food. I'm not sure what kind of dog this is. Or even how old it is. I have had it for 3 days now. He eats really well. His stools are regular, but he sleeps alot and when he walks, he has no balance. 2 foot then falls over. He sits and stares, but theres no activity out of him unless he is eating. I can't afford a vet and really want him to spunk up. Can anyone give me any ideas. Email me at nickirave AT yahoo.com

RE: Remedies for Worms - Go here------
No need to see a vet for this quick fix.... These worms are tape worms and can easily be killed with Tape Worm Taps.... The ingredient is Praziquantel and was prescription only until a year or so ago.... You can purchase it at your local Tractor Supply store or online at http://www.bullwrinkle.com/index.ht ... pingPages/tapewormtabs.htm~indexmain
If your pet recently has these worms, dont worry.... They need to be killed but can easily wait a few weeks to do it. We learned about this from our Vet when he was unable to get our cat in for an appointment....

Take your pets to the vet immediately! A friend's cat had the "rice" size worms. But, she insisted that the "over the counter" worm medication would work. Well, after several doses of the medication, her cat still had worms. One night the cat started crying horribly, and bleeding from the rectum, they rushed it to the vet, but there was nothing that could be done. The vet had said that the tape worms were literally eating the cat's insides, and my friend was advised to have the cat euthanized since it was suffering so badly. It's a shame, because it actually cost her more to have the cat put down, then it would of to have the cat properly treated!
If you love your pets, please don't waste your money on these "over the counter" remedies.

RE: Remedies for Worms
The worm mentioned is a tape worm, There are no home rememdies for this one. It has to have a pill from the vet, and it works fast and very well.
The worm comes from swallowing flea larvae, it you have fleas, you will have tapes. First worm the dog, and deflea the pet, and the area. Your vet can help with this. The worms can damage your dog for life.

RE: Remedies for Worms
you will need to see your vet for this one. It is tapeworm and the over the counter meds do not have the correct ingredient to get rid of it. My cat had it and the prescription I picked up from my vet was only $10. you might end up spending more anyway if you tried getting rid of it yourself. Just call your vet and describe it. I didn't need to make an appointment, he just went off my cats chart as to how much medication to give him.

The white rice-type worms you found are from a tape worm. They are due to the animal swallowing fleas, which carry the worm larvae. There are many over the counter type wormers, but a lot of them are harsh, and don't work as well as going to your vet, telling them what your animal weighs, and getting the right medication. Its better to do it the first time correctly, instead of spending your money buying the cheaper version and having to repeat it.

RE: Remedies for Worms
If they are housepets, sometimes there are local rescues & shelters that offer shots / worming for low cost. Keep in mind the treatment usually must be repeated in 30 days. Sometimes the medicine they use is the same quality & strength as the vet's, sometimes it's equivalent to over-the-counter, ask them. Depending upon the type of "worm" you can buy over-the-counter dewormer in pills or liquid form at discount-Mart stores or pet stores. Look up possible types of infestation on the internet or in books to identify what your pets have. If over the counter or low-cost clinic doesn't work you must take them to a vet asap. This is nothing to mess with.

Please take your pets to the vet ASAP. They can die from infestations of worms and NO home remedy will work.

RE: Remedies for Worms
If you had a case of intestinal parasites wouldn't you want the most effective treatment from your doc. Take pets to vet, clean up all droppings, disinfect area, etc. Some things you have to bite the bullet as far as cost.

RE: Remedies for Worms
As far as I know there aren't any reliable home remedies for worming your animals. Pets are family, of which that you should treat them with the best medicine you can afford.
Visit your local pet store or Vets and get the right treatment for all types of worms. As you would take your child(ren) to the pediatrician for their health etc

I have had the same problem in my goats. I have heard garlic can be used to worm animals, to date I havent figured out how to administer this daily as is required as I have over 100+ goats and doing it daily for even a week isn't possible.
I have however learned that this is more common when there has been more rain. Safeguard is what has worked for me. It has fenbenzol which is what gets that type of worm.
