feL ^Support WOaW’ Group MONDAYS 5:00 p.m. FOR PARENTS DEALING WITH PROBLEMS WITH THEIR CHILDREN WALKERTON UNITED METHODIST CHURCH 1000 GEORGIA STREET (Across From John Glenn) YOU AND YOUR PET Dear Dr. Wise: We have a question about our eight-week-old poodle Abbey. Can our children get worms from her? We don’t know much about worms but heard that all puppies have them. Answer: Your questions is a good one and touches an important subject. Zoonotic (from animal to human) transmission of worms can be a very serious problem, especially for children. The good news is that you can prevent it by taking a few simple measures. First, you should understand that humans are not part of the normal life cycles of the worms that affect dogs and cats. The eggs of roundworms and hookworms can enter our bodies. They cannot grow into adult worms but their larval stages can damage certain organs in our bodies such as our eyes. Roundworm eggs usually are taken in through the mouth by children playing in contaminated soil or grass., Hookworm<larvae can enter the body directly through the skin. This may sould alarming but a few simiple measures can keep the situation from occurring. Puppies may start passing roundworm eggs as early as three weeks of age. Kittens start a few weeks later. So it is important to begin deworming puppies at twothree weeks old and kittens at six weeks. Repeat the process every two weeks. Since Abbey is eight weeks old, she may already have been wormed by the breeder. Breeders may have no parasite problem if they often have regular stool checks for parasites. You should talk with the breeder and you vererinarian to decide what is best for your situation. In addition until you know Abbey is free or worms, you should keep you children away from areas away from areas contaminated with feces. Do not let them eat dirt and encourage them to wash their hands after play and before eating. Cover your sandbox when it is not being used to prevent cats from eliminating in it. It also is advisable to dean up after the dog and keep the yard free of feces. As Abbey gets older, she should have an annual physical exam including a check for worms. Though worms are more a puppy problem, they also can infect adult dogs and cats. Also make sure that your community is one of the many that ban the indiscriminate roaming of dogs and cats. Preventing the spread of worms is one reaon behind such ordinances. Note: Now is the time to have your dog tested and placed on medicine to prevent the sometimes fatal heartworm disease. If you have a question about your pet, write Dr. Wise, Indiana Veterinary Medical Assodation, 3802 Springfield Overlook, Indianapolis, IN 46234. It’s dificult to recognize bad luck ... it looks so much like ineptness.
