A fly, no. A flea yes he could have tapeworms.

Answer 2

Are you kidding me??

If you ate a muffin or a strawberry would you p**p apples??? How unrelated are those three items???

Worms happen and have little to do with fleas and --- flies aren't even a pesk to dogs just dog p**p!!!!

edit: wellll... i guess it is easy to mistake worms and tapeworms --- and ringworm and roundworms...etc - which are different

Answer 3

no cuz the stomach acid would kill it

Answer 4

I don't know about flies but yes if your dog swallows a flea it will get tape worms.  If you don't get rid of the fleas then it is a never ending cycle!!!!

Answer 5

I'm pretty sure no, because worms come up "the other end' if ya know what I mean, and there worms, they don't form into a fly or flea and then form into a worm. at least I don't think so lol

Answer 6

If dogs swallow fleas it is possible that they can develop a tapeworm.

Answer 7

Tapeworms in dogs are caused by fleas, whether they eat iit, or just have alot of them on hem. Just watch the dogs f***s,if you find small white worms (looks alot like rice) in their poo, then you will have to medicate with tapeworm pills.

Answer 8

Yes, fleas carry tapeworms. They will look like little pieces of rice around the dog's r****m. Take the dog to the vet with a stool sample and have them check for worms. They can prescribe medication.
