Triple Wormer is a popular choice for deworming dogs, effectively targeting intestinal worms like roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms. Since Tiny is a Chihuahua, it's important to ensure that her weight falls within the specified range of 6.0 to 25 lbs for this medication.

Before you give Tiny the medication, please follow the dosage instructions carefully to ensure she receives the correct amount based on her weight. If you notice any adverse reactions or if the worms persist after treatment, it would be advisable to consult with a veterinarian. They can provide a thorough evaluation and suggest an alternative treatment plan if necessary.

It's also essential to maintain regular flea and tick prevention, as fleas can transmit tapeworms. Since Tiny is already using a flea collar, continue with this method to help minimize the risk of reinfection.

If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out. Thank you!

It sounds like Tiny is experiencing separation anxiety, which is quite common in dogs, especially those who share a close bond with their owners.

Firstly, consider gradual desensitization. You can start by leaving Tiny alone for very short periods and slowly increase the time as she becomes more comfortable. This approach helps her understand that you will always return.

Creating a safe space for Tiny can also be beneficial. Designate a comfortable area with her favorite toys and perhaps a piece of your clothing that carries your scent. This can help her feel more secure when you're not around.

Positive reinforcement is another effective method. Reward Tiny with treats and praise when she remains calm as you prepare to leave or when you return. This can help her associate your departures and arrivals with positive experiences.

If her anxiety persists, consulting a professional dog trainer or behaviorist could offer tailored strategies to address her specific needs.
