My dog Dakota

Question
Hello, I'm sorry English is not my best subject so I apologize now for my mistakes. My dog Dakota just got pregnant and I noticed her teats. One teat seems like it's plugged and another one seems to have black worms that are embedded in her skin. I don't know what is going on with either of her nipples. Could you please help!

Answer
Hi Melissa,

If you are seeing worm embedded in your dog's skin, you need to have her examined by your vet. You should not use an over the counter wormer product, because it could endanger the unborn puppies.

You should take care of this as soon as possible. If finances are a problem, call a local animal shelter or Humane Association and ask if there is a reduced cost veterinary clinic in your area.


Best of luck!
