Tapeworms are horrible little parasites that are flat and segmented. After being ingested the worm flows through the digestive tract and then attaches to the intestinal wall. They eat the nutrients that your pet consumes. This can lead to malnutrition. If the animal goes untreated and the worms are allowed to stay in the intestine then they will grow and could potentially obstruct the intestinal tract. Some symptoms include upset stomach, pain or discomfort, and appetite fluctuation.
There is one prevention method that can cut down tapeworms in pets significantly. First all pet owners should know that these worms are contracted when the pet ingests an infected flea. Pets clean their coats and even scratch persistent itches using their teeth. The teeth and tongue can attract tiny flea eggs and fleas. Unbeknownst to the animals they will swallow the tapeworm where it will then live inside of them.
