#3 Dogs get the tapes (both kinds) from fleas, who like to eat the tapeworm eggs. So if your dog likes to catch mice, squirrels, rabbits, all of which tend to have fleas ... or has a case of the fleas ... it's at risk and so are you, a little.

Google "praziquantel". It can be purchased by mail / over the counter now (used to be prescription only). $15 or so for 5 tabs, # tabs for a dose is based on the dog's weight. Gets rid of them in the dog for at least a month, longer if s/he's not exposed again.

Droncit = praziquantel + other de-wormers. No need to buy this version unless you don't keep your dog on heartworm meds year round. This is quite adequate. Or Google "tape worm tabs" - but make sure it's praziquantel and not the older style meds that required fasting etc.

#4 Jeez, I don't know which is worse; Is his skull "12.3 cm by 11.6x8.5 cm in size"; is the lesion "12.3 cm by 11.6x8.5 cm in size"; or are the cysts "12.3 cm by 11.6x8.5 cm in size". I HOPE that it was the lesion. I also hate arsenic parasite 'cures'. Rough.
