Roundworms are the most common internal parasite found in dogs and cats.  Nearly every dog or cat will have roundworms at some point in their life, usually puppy-hood.  Adult roundworms live in the intestines and with small infection loads no symptoms maybe present.  As the infection load increases things like diarrhea, vomiting, weight loss, pot-belly appearance and even a dull coat maybe noticed.  Diagnosis is confirmed by looking at a fecal sample under the microscope and identifying roundworm eggs.  Typically, this is performed at each monthly puppy/kitten exam and annually with wellness exams on adults.  There are medications that are given by mouth to treat for roundworms.  However, most of the monthly heartworm preventatives have a dewormer in them that treats for roundworms as well.
