Could Stomach Ache And Diarrhea Be Due To Worms?
I We just found out our 4 month old puppy has worms. My 4 year old and this puppy are inseparable. And now today my child has a stomach ache and diarrhea. I am petrified that she has worms. Someone told me today that people can catch worms from puppies. Help I am freaking out.

Hi...it is true that people can catch worms form puppies, it is called Echinococcosis and I suggest you get your kid examined by a pediatrician and rule it out.
