Tapeworm eggs

[FP]

We let our dog sleep on our bed from time to time. While I was watching tv I noticed some sesame seed looking things on the top of the sheet. They looked a bit like egg sacs so I googled it.

Sure enough. Tapeworms

Now I can't shake the feeling that things are crawling on me.

You don't get your dog wormed? Do you at least vaccinate it?

Wash your dog, at least once in it's lifetime.

This is another reason that dogs belong outside.

Our dog is vaccinated. He had a heartworm test just 1 month ago (negative) but I guess they don't test for tapeworms (???).

Luckily they only are a problem if you swallow a flea that has swallowed the thing that comes out of the egg. I know our house doesn't have fleas (dog is on treatment) because I get eaten alive by fleas.

I would never make our dog sleep outside. He is much happier inside with us, I am sure his tapeworms are much more comfortable as well.
