Research Notes on Whipworms in Dogs
Several species of whipworms -- Trichuris vulpis and Trichuris campanula -- are common in dogs. Small numbers of whipworms will generally cause no symptoms, but large numbers can cause inflammation of the intestinal wall, intestinal hemorrhage, anemia, diarrhea and weight loss. Cleaning of kennels and dog runs and routine fecal examinations and dewormings can help control this parasite.
