Parásitos
Infection with the whipworm Trichuris, which lives in the large intestine. Its eggs are very resistant and persist in the soil for years, making it hard to eradicate.
The whipworm Trichuris vulpis. It is transmitted by ingesting eggs from the soil. The eggs survive in the environment for years.
Faecal analysis. The eggs are shed intermittently, so several samples may need to be tested.
An effective wormer against whipworms, often in repeated courses. Environmental hygiene to reduce reinfection.
Regular deworming, picking up faeces daily, and avoiding heavily contaminated areas.
See the vet if there is chronic diarrhoea with blood and mucus that does not resolve.
