FLEAS ARE A DOG'S TAPEWORM DELIVERY SYSTEM
By: Peter Demmon
Although the concept of a tapeworm is rather disgusting, the harm that it presents to your pet dog is rather limited. Surprisingly enough, fleas play a crucial part in the presence of tapeworms. Over-the-counter products are available to combat this parasite and the chances of humans contracting the parasite as a result of their family pet are rather thin.
It is really a rather complicated road for a canine tapeworm to finally attach itself to the walls of your dog's intestines. The road begins with an infected dog passing a segment of a tapeworm out of its anus. The segment is widely described as the size of a grain of rice, or compared to a sesame seed. The segment contains up to 60,000 tapeworm eggs. At times the segment passes with the feces and at other times the segment works its way out on its own. Sometimes, the segment remains with the dog, stuck to its fur. Grosser still is the fact that it is moving when it is fresh.
