Thank You Daisy, after it upset his Tummy so bad, this may be a viable solution. The vet told me it is very common in my area, said rocky could have even eaten a blade of grass with a flea on it that was infected, which could have done the same thing, and he said if after the second treatment, if he still had the worms in his poop, rest assured that he had eaten another infected flea. Sad but True….. He said it caused no harm to Rocky, no discomfort or anything, but needed to be delta with, I just can't see having a tapeworm as being comfortable, I guess it just bothers me so much. Thank You very much for the information, and I might very well have to try it, especially if I can get him to hold that down.
The chemical dewormers can indeed cause GI upset. You can find the DE on Amazon.com if you don't have a local feed store. While it may not cause discomfort in the short term, you realllllllllly do not want long term tape worm living in your dog's digestive tract!! Then it does cause nutritional deficits, along with other issues. *gag*
