Hi is there anyone who can give me advice about worms i have just bought a female scottie she has just reached 6 months old she started to go to the toilet and all of a sudden a jelly like substance appeared and with it several worms which was about 4 inchs long they looked like a thinner version of the garden worm well she continued to toilet quite a lot out in the end it was just a worm with clear jel fluid ejecting from her bottom we was all horrified as i have never seen this before in my life we gave her a worming tablet (shelleys all in one wormer )what we want to know is when is she safe to handle with children because since then we have read up on worms in dogs and its quite terrifying if you have young children but we have kept the children away its been a whole day since the incident please help she thinks she has done something wrong as she misses the children
