Did the former owner do any worming on the pup? A pup usually receives a scheduled set of worming beggining at about 2 weeks of age.

Most likely he is full of worms, the vet will be able to give you pill to take care of them.

first of all im so glad your son took this puppy who really needs a home, that was great when you go to the vet he will give you meds for the worms, otherwise he sounds happy and content.

The pups was on the farm...the guy that gave the pup to my son said that they dont have worms and they eat food when given...I hope he finds home for the others.
I have to wait til 8:30 to call the vet before I take him in for checkup.

I do hope the guy was right no worms but yet I will feel better when checked since I can't tell.


the last puppy my son got off a farm....the owner was negleting all the female pups...when my son got a girl pup from him ..it died in his arms after a week and we took her to vet,worm medicine and all but she was so full of worms. she was skinny though and didnt eat.

I maybe too cautious but my son has always wanted a lab and I do not want anything to happen like that again.

my son just took the pup to this old guy that he works for because his wife is retire vet and she comfirmed hershey has worms.

so I am going to get frantic til I get to the vet.

another question I have is my 2 yr and 4 yr old were playing with hershey, they cant get worms also can they?

Children don't get canine worms, but worms can get under the skin and travel throughout their systems, esp if there are scratches or scrapes. Be very careful allowing your younger children to play with the puppy until it is confirmed its no longer infected. Have your older son make sure to wash his hands and arms thoroughly after playing with the puppy.

Kudos to you and your son for taking care of this pup. He will supply endless unconditional love in return!
