My Pekingese Has Worms! What Should I Do?

"My Pekingese Has Worms! What Should I Do?"

As a pet parent, it can be alarming to discover that your furry friend has worms. But don't worry, it's a common problem among dogs, including Pekingese. In this post, we'll cover the signs and symptoms of worm infestations, the types of medication used to treat them, and what you can expect after treatment.

First things first, let's talk about the signs and symptoms of worms in Pekingese. If your pup has worms, you may notice diarrhea, vomiting, weight loss, lack of energy, itching, and irritation, or a pot-bellied appearance. Now, I know what you're thinking: "That could also be a description of my Friday nights!" But trust me, in this case, it's not a party.

If you suspect that your Pekingese has worms, it's important to take them to a veterinarian for a proper diagnosis and treatment. Your veterinarian may recommend a fecal test to determine the type of worm and prescribe a specific medication to treat the infestation.

Several brand name medications are commonly used to treat worms in dogs, including Pekingese. Some examples include Panacur, Drontal, Interceptor, and Sentinel. It's important to consult with a veterinarian for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, as the type of medication and dosage may vary depending on the type of worm and the severity of the infestation.

Now, let's talk about what you can expect after treatment. Your Pekingese should start to improve and gradually return to their normal self. Depending on the type of medication used, your Pekingese may expel the worms in their feces. Don't be alarmed, it's a normal part of the treatment process and an indication that the medication is working. Your Pekingese should also show improvement in symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, and lethargy after treatment.

It's important to note that while treatment can eliminate the worms, it may not reverse any damage that the worms may have caused to your Pekingese body. If you have any concerns about your Pekingese's recovery after treatment, be sure to discuss them with your veterinarian.

In conclusion, if your Pekingese has worms, don't panic! It's a common problem among dogs, and there are effective treatments available. Be sure to consult with a veterinarian for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, and keep an eye on your pup during and after treatment to ensure a full recovery.


Remember, prevention is always better than treatment. To help prevent worm infestations in your Pekingese, it's important to maintain good hygiene practices such as regularly washing their bedding, grooming them frequently, and cleaning up after them promptly. You can also talk to your veterinarian about preventative medications that can be given to your Pekingese to help prevent worm infestations.


In addition, regular visits to the veterinarian for check-ups and routine fecal tests can help catch any potential worm infestations early, before they become a serious problem. Your veterinarian may also recommend a regular deworming schedule based on your Pekingese's lifestyle and risk factors.

In conclusion, while worms may be an unpleasant topic, they are a common problem among dogs, including Pekingese. By being aware of the signs and symptoms of worm infestations, taking your Pekingese to the veterinarian for proper diagnosis and treatment, and practicing good hygiene and preventative measures, you can help keep your furry friend healthy and happy.

So, keep calm and worm on, my friends! And remember, if you have any concerns about your Pekingese's health or behavior, don't hesitate to reach out to your veterinarian. They are always there to help you and your furry friend navigate any health concerns.
