Symptoms of worms in a dog's belly

When a dog has worms in its belly, early symptoms such as weight loss, poor appetite, and rough and dull fur are common. As the infection progresses, the number of worms increases, and the dog's belly swells due to the accumulation of fluid. Additionally, worm eggs and bodies can be seen in the dog's stool. In severe cases, the worms may migrate to the stomach, causing the dog to vomit live worms.

If a dog contracts worms, the most common early symptoms are weight loss and vomiting. Worms are a relatively common internal parasite disease in dogs, which usually causes some digestive symptoms. The dog may show gradual weight loss, rough and dull fur, and loss of appetite, making it difficult to detect in the early stages.

Check for abnormalities in the dog's stool

When a dog is infected with worms, the stool may contain bean-like living worms or eggs. A stool examination can reveal this more accurately. Also, if the end of the stool has fresh red blood threads, the dog is likely infected with coccidia rather than worms.

Observe if the dog's belly becomes enlarged

When a dog has a large number of worms in its belly, it will produce some abdominal fluid, making the belly appear swollen to the naked eye.

Check if the dog has vomiting symptoms

When the worm infection is particularly severe, the worms will migrate within the dog's body, causing vomiting. In some cases, the dog may even vomit live worms.

In summary, if a dog shows signs of weight loss, vomiting, and a swollen belly, the possibility of worms should be considered, and the dog should be taken to a pet hospital for inspection. If the diagnosis is confirmed, timely deworming treatment should be administered.
