that's it...i'm not sure if she has worms but i noticed her scooting on her bum today on the carpet a few times. we live way out in the country and i don't need to pick up after her, she never poops in house. will take her to the vet tomorrow but hope it hasn't harmed baby. would i feel anything if i caught them?
having a horrendous time with anxiety and just at my wits end. going to gp tomorrow to ask for anti-anxiety medication, i've avoided it for weeks but can't take this anymore. just for tonight need reassurance about dogs and worms and baby Flowers

It’s more likely to be anal glands.
Do you worm the dog

FeelingBeautiful · 05/04/2020 22:03

@PanicAtTheDiscLo yes but the last time was august last year, i feel so stupid
she is farting a lot too so i did think anal glands, but she has been lethargic too over the past few days, i thought she just was responding to me being pregnant

Just give the dog worming tablets and relax. My dog had worms recently and I was paranoid too but my midwife didn't see a problem and I gave the dog worming tablets. Problem solved Smile

@Delbelleber problem solved Smile i hope i laugh about some of these things when this is over. i would give anything for a drink (or three) and a night out with the girls

Why don't you pick up after your dog?

You really should be picking up after your dog.

Shitting worms would usually be an indication.

@Hileni and @IHaveBrilloHair my dog spends time out in fields on our private land so it's impossible to pick up after her.
@Crackerscheesescabbyknees yep my hubby saw her poop today and there was nothing there so hopefully its something else. i know this is stupid & really need to get on top of the anxiety and will tomorrow
thanks everyone for answering
