My nephew has a 3yr old lab/shep mix who defecated mucous stool with a worm that resembled a tapeworm. Is is possible for an older dog to have these. And if so, how could they get it and is it trasferable from animal to animal or human by stepping on it and bringing it in the house? I live in Texas, where there are consistent mosquitoes throughout the whole day.

I have a beautiful darling 5 month-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel: Should I neuter him or not? I hate to put the little guy through the pain, unless it would truly help avoid future problems (like testicular cancer, as the vet says is a possibility) since I do not plan on using him as a stud and he is a apartment dog anyway. Help me decide, PLEASE???!!!
Thanks & Blessings!

Hi Doc, Lana my Springer Spanial has had Big problems with her ears and ended up with a Polip? growing from her throut, up into her ear, and had to have the ear cut away and reconstructed. She has been in great pain and it has been a magnet for everything from seeds to hair eversince. It cost me £500 Uk Pounds, I wish I could say it was money well spent but if you were here to here her screams when you touch it to clean out the debry you would think like me. She has had dermititus in her front feet for the last year and is now on Atopica 100 mg at a cost of £96 per month but it dose not seem to be doing any good. Shes had many different treatments like Malaseb and Vinegar But nothing works. Can you help Regards Roger.
