Question 10 week old Boxer with Tapeworms???

I found (rice looking) eggs in my bed last night since Brooklyn sleeps with me. I washed the sheets and slept with her on the fouton. This morning I got a good stool sample to take to the vet.

My question is....after the Doc gives her the tapeworm medicine, how soon should this clear the problem up? She is flea free since I put her on Advantage. Thanks for the help.

Muggsy had them and they cleared up really fast after the medicine. They are nasty though

Brooklyn tested positive for not only Tapeworms but also Hookworms! I guess Hookworms are life threatning for puppies!!! He gave her medication to take and so far I feel as though the tapeworms have cleared up!

Thanks everyone for you advice on this topic.
