Any Q

The first signs of puppy worms is that they don't gain weight or grow as they should. Their coat could be dull and they don't have the energy you would expect. Later they could lose their appetite, vomit, and have diarrhea – even blood in their poop. An extended belly is usually a sign of a severe worm infestation. 1 мая 2019 г.
