He had went to the restroom before this time I seen the worm and it was normal stool nothing unusual, about ten minutes later he went again and it was gooey and had a thing that looked like spaghetti in it. He threw up a little bit and it looked watery. My puppy has been dewormed had his first set of shots and were going to take him to get his second round on Wednesday. He had been dewormed a week before we got him and the vet said to wait about two more weeks to get him dewormed a second time. It’s been almost three weeks we were going to do it on Wednesday but, I’m not sure what I should do?! Should I just go on Monday to get him dewormed again because the vet isn’t open on Saturday. Should he be allowed to sleep on our bed? (Or would that put us at too much of a risk of getting the worms too). I looked up what the worm looked like online and it said a roundworm, it wasn’t moving so I assume it may have been dead. My puppy didn’t eat his first bowl of food and his stomach is growling, should I try to feed him myself even though he has lost his appetite a bit. Please help me!! Thank you so much in advance.

Getting The Best Dog Bed
If you own a dog, especially an older one, getting a good dog bed is a really great gift to give your beloved pet. The need a good place to rest and sleep just like us. After all, you wouldn't want to bed down in an uncomfortable mattress or sleep on a hard surface all night.
Sleeping on the floor or even on a bad or uneven bed isn't the best thing for a dog to do. As they get older it becomes even more important that they have a really good dog bed to sleep in.
The other reason to get a dog bed is, of course, to keep them off of yours or off of the best couch in the house. If you don't want them all over your furniture, get them a comfortable bed of their own that they will love and use for a long time.
From the simplest dog beds to the more elaborate types, there are many to choose from. Some are more or less like large bean bags, some are donuts or round pet beds. There are also bolster dog beds, which have sort of a pillow going all around the outer edge of the bed. Dogs like to use this as a pillow for their head while they sleep. Then there is the orthopedic dog bed and memory foam beds, which are among the best you can get.
There are also outdoor dog beds which are made for outdoor areas like the back porch and there are also heated dog beds. These are great for dogs, especially during the cold winter months. Even when you have the heat in the house cranked up, the floor can sometimes stay cold and it's not good for your dogs bones and joints. A heated dog bed will keep your canine pal comfy and warm the whole time like a warm blanket.
Another option you may want to look into is getting a waterproof dog bed. We have all taken our dog out for a walk when it is raining and wet outside. Whether we want to or not, we have to go out on those miserable days when the rain is pouring and we both get soaked. After a good towel dry, dogs still have some moisture left on their coat and skin. The nice part about a waterproof dog bed is that your dog can lay on this type of pet bed without getting it soaked on the inside where the water stays put. These beds are made for this so they do not get ruined every time your water soaked pooch rests on them. For those dogs that prefer to stay out on the porch or outside near their kennel or dog house, they are much happier on a waterproof bed than a conventional one that soaks up the water. It's not only a comfortable resting spot for sleeping and lying down, but it will last longer too.
Not all dog beds are the same just as not all dogs age the same. When your dog gets older, he or she will most likely develop the same types of aches and pains due to joint problems that humans do. When your dog starts to slow down due to joint pain, inflammation and arthritis, the best thing you can do is to look into getting them a memory foam dog bed.
As soon as your are aware that you dog is suffering from orthopedic issues, the floor is simply not a good place for them to sleep. Even a conventional dog bed just will not do. The even balance of a dog's weight is more important at this stage of their life than at any time before. A bumpy or uneven bed is not good for the existing joint pain and can actually worsen the dog's problems over time.

The worms won’t kill him in a matter of a weekend, contact the vet on Monday and tell them exactly what you observed and they might be able to get you in a few days early. Keep an eye on the dog, make sure that it is drinking water and not becoming dehydrated. Make food available, but don’t stress if it doesn’t eat… Do not walk anywhere the dog defecates in bare feet, clean up the messes immediately, and wash/sanitize your hands (you may need a sample to take to the vet so keep that in mind on Monday morning and personally I wouldn’t want to sleep with it) The dog may have diarrhea so just make sure you can take it out often. Lots of puppies get worms despite the deworming… GOOD LUCK!

The only way YOU can get worms from him is to eat a live one. Stop stressing out.
Worms and fleas on dogs is what any pet owner goes through. You just treat for them when they show up. Sometimes it takes two rounds of deworming to get them all. NOT a problem.

he needs to be dewormed again…theres a good chance when you dewormed him the first time the stool in your yard was still infected so he got them again but you definately need to make an appointment to get the deworming medicine and make sure to clean up your entire yard because if you dont deworming him is pointless.

It is Roundworm, but if his stool is gooey like you said, he may also have Coccidia. Yes, he needs to be wormed again, and also another time after that since he still has adult worms. Keep the poop cleaned up, keep your hands washed, and put him in his crate to sleep. (Don’t forget, he will need TWO more wormings.)

Take him to the vet on Monday. The sooner the problem can be dealt with the better. They may be able to give him something to ease his stomach as well so he can eat. In the mean time try and feed him some plain yogurt and olive oil to ease his discomfort, about a cup yogurt and tsp. olive oil. Also go to a pet outlet store and see if you can find some of the grass they sell to give him. Good luck!

Get him to the vet first thing Monday. He’s supposed to have a second round of medication. What’s so hard to figure out?
You can’t catch his worms. Tell the vet about his other symptoms.

Ignore Elaine. The idea that you can only get worms through eating a live one is a popular misconception. Just a short explanation of how this actually works,….
Worms that live in the dogs intestine come out of the animals anus (this is also how it works in humans) periodically, usually at night, and lay there eggs. They then move back up into the intestines for nourishment. The eggs fall off of the dogs anus, or are licked off by the dog. There will be eggs in the dogs mouth (briefly), or they will end up on your bed sheets, carpets, in their stool, etc. You then touch them, and if your hands end up in your mouth (or your hand touches something that you end up eating), you ingest the eggs which then hatch in your intestine and the cycle goes on. You will absolutely NEED to take a dewormer, as will everyone else in the home. Your pharmacist can provide it, depending on where you live, or you can get a prescription from your doctor. You will need to be treated twice, as the worm meds will not kill of the eggs in your home/on your body. It will kill all of the worms, but if eggs remain they can hatch and you have more worms. A second treatment will make sure you’ve gotten everything.
Yes, your dog needs to treated again, and then again. Many pet owners treat on a regular basis, as a preventative, especially when their dogs are puppies. Personally, I wouldn’t let a dog with worms on my bed, but you may very well be infected already. So it’s up to you.

To get worms from your dog you have to eat his feces…so as long as you don’t eat poop, lick his foot after he’s stepped in his poop or french kiss your dog after he eats his own poop, you should be fine.
He’ll be fine until Monday…or you can go to a feed store and buy some worming tablets. Roundworms are easy to treat from home. But if it makes you feel better (as it does to most Yahoo users who run to the vet every time their dog burps, lol), then just wait til Monday.
