Symptoms of taeniasis in dogs:
1. There are no obvious clinical symptoms when the infected dog is mildly infected, but only unexplained abdominal discomfort.
2. When there is a large number of infections, sick dogs will suffer from anemia, weight loss, diarrhea, and indigestion, resulting in alternating constipation and diarrhea. When highly debilitated, the worms can also block the intestines when they form a mass, leading to intestinal obstruction, intussusception, torsion or even rupture.
3. White attachments the size of rice grains are common in the feces of sick dogs.
Treatment methods for dog tapeworms:
1. Praziquantel, 20 mg/kg body weight, taken orally once, and again every 5 days.
2. Albendazole, 10-15 mg/kg body weight, once a day for 3 days.
3. Mebendazole, 100 mg/kg body weight, once orally.
4. Mebendazole, 20 mg/kg body weight, once orally.
