===Overview===

''Thrichuris vulpis''is a typical whipworm in appearance and life cycle. The worms have a pre-patent period of 3 months before eggs are found in feaces, though they are not always present and several samples may be necessary to confirm infection.  It inhabits the large intestine and ceacum of dogs and less often foxes and cats worldwide. Commonly seen in the caecum, but rarely in large enough quantities to cause clinical signs, most notably diarrhoea in dogs.
