Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

So, I went and picked up my puppy today! He's mischievous and energetic.
Menchi's first day home ... eeek! Worms! Unname10

BUT... After his last bowl movement i have found some worm looking things in his poop.  They look like maggots/rice.

He was growing up on a farm run by Mennonites, freely roaming around. When I got him he smelled horrid. He yaked on the way home but nothing out of ordinary there. Just lots of diamond food and hay and grass.  

I gave him a bath, cleaned him up and he is very energetic.
His stool went from meh-gross-slimy-bog-mud to what looks to me as normal dog poop. The change happened after a diet change from diamond to Nutro Puppy Chiot.

A vet visit is on sched but its 3 weeks away.

Is there something I can give him OTC while waiting to get in to see the vet for his over all check up? Pet stores are closed at the hour.

I am currently searching the forum before i head off to the dept.

What I used to use (pure tobacco) has become VERY problematic of late - even more than it used to be.  So I went looking....

Most of the homeopathic "cures" for worms use herbs, etc that are as dangerous as tobacco.  About the only thing that I've seen suggested on several sites that I might try are raw carrots ... I'm really not sure if they would do any good but at least they are not harmful.

As an explanation - in the day when there was nothing in a cigarette but tobacco, about a half inch of a cigarettes tobacco would kill worms (actually it's the nicotine that kills them) but with all the chemicals that are mixed into tobacco now I wouldn't even think about it.  Tobacco for human consumption has been so adulterated that it's not safe for consumption (not that it ever was safe, but it's worse now!) [and yes, I still smoke]

Your best bet would be a phone call to your vet in the morning, explain the situation and he'll probably suggest you visit him (or possibly a feed store depending on where you live) for worm medicine ... let's be safe here, eh??

Wow never would have guessed that use for unaltered tobacco.  
I'll call in the morning to see if there is something that can be given sooner than the appointment. Hopefully there is something I can swing by and pick it up on lunch break.

If you have a tractor supply they should have some there. Howeve,r you need to go to the vet long before then, if there is something wrong with you pet you need to know. When buying from less than reputable breeders you need to make sure you go directly to the vet within 24-48 hours

Agreed with Megan. You should have a vet appointment lined up within the first few days of bringing your puppy home. 3 weeks is way too long to wait to bring him to his first vet appointment, especially if he was living in less than ideal conditions.
