hi everyone, we got a new puppy (a jack russell crossed with a yorkie, yikes!):evil:. The day we got her (ruby), i took her to the vets for a check, they wormed and fleaed her and told me to worm her in a month, well it was a month today so i wormed her again, only to find that their was a huge spaggetti type worm in her poop:eek:, i'm guessing that its a roundworm, and now i'm worrying that my children, husband and myself are going to end up blind, or with tissue damage to the brain or liver if we've accidently ingested worm eggs. i've been as scrupulous as possible with hygiene, but you can't wash your hands every time you pet her, one of my daughters has autism and the other is a thumb sucker, and they have been left unattended with ruby, am i worrying about nothing? I've done nothing but go on at my thumbsucker today about washing her hands and my hands are so dry from washing them, do you think i should be worrying?:confused:
