Treatment for taeniasis in dogs:

1. Therapeutic deworming: use arecaline hydrobromide, the dosage is 1.5-2 mg/kg body weight, orally. Give the sick dog 12-20 hours of fasting. In order to prevent vomiting, dilute iodine tincture (10 ml of water, two drops of iodine tincture) should be given 15 to 20 minutes before taking the medicine. Or use praziquantel, the dosage is 5-10 mg/kg body weight/time, orally. Or use butamidine hydrochloride, the dosage is 25-50 mg/kg body weight, once orally, to drive away Echinococcus granulosus, use 50 mg, and use it again at an interval of 48 hours.

2. Preventive deworming: Preventive deworming should be carried out 4 times a year (once per quarter), and breeding dogs should be carried out within 3-4 weeks before mating. When deworming, dogs should be isolated within a certain range so that the excreted worms and feces can be collected and destroyed thoroughly to prevent the spread of pathogens. Spring and Autumn are high incidence periods.

3. Pay attention to cleanliness and sanitation, eliminate the source of infection, properly dispose of slaughter waste, prevent dogs from eating intermediate hosts with tapeworm larvae or their uncooked organs, keep the kennel and dog body clean, and often use antiseptics to kill them. Eliminate fleas and lice on dogs, and eliminate rodents.

Clinical symptoms of taeniasis in dogs:

1. Abnormal appetite (bulimia, pica), vomiting, chronic enteritis, diarrhea, constipation, anemia, emaciation, irritability or depression, and sometimes convulsions or paralysis of limbs occur during severe infection.

2. When the worms form a group, they can block the intestinal tube, leading to acute abdominal diseases such as intestinal obstruction, intussusception, volvulus, and intestinal rupture.

3. Check the tapeworm proglottids; if it is found that the anus of the sick dog is caught with the tapeworm gestational segment that has not yet landed, and the short tapeworm proglottids are mixed in the feces, it can help to make a diagnosis. The proglottis are white, the smallest ones are like rice grains, and the largest ones can be as long as about 9 mm.
