<DIV>Ugh, Nasty whip. I have had it with my breeder bassets and with fosters.
First thing is to make sure NOBODY EATS OR SNIFFS POOP! My Snuggles ATB
got it because we walked her in the local poop alley. My fosters Bonnie and
Bosco came loaded with it. My vet dosed them with Panocur and a followup dose in
about 14 days. You must pick up all the poop promptly until after the final
dose. No, you don't have to concrete the yard! Yes, whipworms hang out in the
soil but again if you clean up promptly it lessens the chances. My vet
also had me bring in a sample after the first dose of my own bassets poop
to make sure they were ok. To save $$$$ she has me grab a small sample from each
of the boys and bring it in in one container. One test bill that way. And if one
is positive then we treat the pack which has never happened yet. I would
also wipe out the foster crates with bleach water and pour some bleach in when
washing bedding. Whip can really debilitate a dog if left untreated but it is
not the Plague that some internet articles would have you believe. A little
cleanliness goes a long way. </DIV>
