Our pup Baxter is 6 months old and we're still housebreaking him. He crapped on the floor so we made Austin go clean it up. He says Dad, the poop is moving! Tapeworms. Nice...

Dogs get tapeworms from ingesting fleas. He hadn't had fleas since we bought him from the breeder, but they gave him spot treatment when we bought him. Poor thing must have had tapeworms since we got him.

So took him to the vet and verified it was in fact tapeworms (that will kill them in 48 hours), and gave him a shot for that and a rabies vaccine.

Cost for the shots and the visit, $41. Not bad! Burleson Small Animal Hospital.

Good to hear it'll only take 48 hours

I think it's $41 just to park in my vets parking lot

Never heard of getting them from fleas....but it could be possible....

Usually from ingesting feces of another infected animal or a contaminated water source/grass.....

Other types of worms are from that.

Tapeworms come from ingesting fleas. Infested fleas carry the tapeworm eggs.

3. Grease the entire inside of boot to protect against moisture and to focus coil pulse to the spark plug. Without it, pulse jumps, etches and leaves carbon trails inside of boots. Boots become weak and can deform.

4. Install the boot over the spring and onto the coil. With a small screw driver or curved pic, pull the spring from the end of the boot approximately onehalfinch. Slide the screw driver across the spring, keeping it from recoiling back into the boot.

5. Clean grease from spring end with a grease cutting agent. Lacquer thinner or brake cleaner works best.

6. Release spring so that it recoils back into the spark plug boot.

7. With a small brush or finger, grease the top seam of the boot.

8. Install coil.
Wait do the plugs need to be removed for this?
