Overview on Whipworm in Dogs
There are a number of parasites that can infect animals. It is for this reason that when you receive your new pet, the first thing you do is to make sure you equip him with the right defenses for about anything you can think of. 
Despite your vigilance, however, infection will find its way to cause havoc and so before it does, make sure that you, too, are equipped not only with the proper attitude, but also with the information about one of the most hostile parasites in existence. 
Whipworms, scientifically classified as Trichuris vulpis, Trichuris campanula (canine) and Trichuris serrata (feline) are called as such because they are slender and whip-like in one end and thick and flat on the other, hence giving the appearance of a whip; the front portion of which being the “whip” and the caudal part representing the “whip handle”. 
Although these parasites can be as menacing as Hookworms and can sometimes be fatal, there have been very few reports of humans being infected and most of the cases are often caused by Trichuris vulpis. It is known to infect both cats and dogs directly, but since cats are not as prone to Whipworms as dogs are, if you own a dog, then this article is best suited for you. 
Whipworms exist as very minute parasitic eggs with thick brown outer coverings that are tough and impenetrable, thus allowing the eggs to survive untouched in the soil for years. They are also highly resistant to freezing and are unaffected by exposure to extreme heat and sunlight. And for the above reasons, it can subsist for long, until a dog accidentally ingests it.
When that happens, it is known that Whipworms live in the large intestines and the cecum (which is the junction of the large and small intestine) of man’s best friend. They attack a dog’s body by burying its head into the outer linings of the large intestines and cecum only. It is specific and precise in choosing its host and once it settles in a canine, the parasite begins to cause havoc in their body.
They remain inside your dog’s body for one to three months until they hatch, attach to the intestine walls and then feed on blood. Once infected, your dog will appear to have been suffering from a chronic case of diarrhea, weight loss, and anemia due to rapid blood loss. So if you suspect that your dog is suffering from Whipworm infection, bring a sample of your dog’s feces to the laboratory for it to be analyzed before further complications set in.
