Casey has roundworms

[caseysmom]

Casey had her 6 month comprehensive exam today. I was expecting a not-clean stool sample. Since I inhereted my brothers kitty when he passed away she has been eating the kitties poo...I know...totally disgusting.

Anyway I had to break down and make a vet appt for kitty also since he obviously has worms. I was putting it off because for right now I am paying a lot of my brothers bills.

My vet said I could bring in a stool sample of bubba's because I am really not sure if he has eaten the poo...I think he has also. The vet isn't even going to charge me for bubba's stool check because I have insurance on him.

The good news is casey got her nails trimmed...she growls and tries to bite when I do it. Other than the worms she got a clean bill of health, she is still somewhat overweight...probably because she supplements her diet with cat poo!

Well rounds are easier to get rid of if all animals are treated. The hardest to get rid of is hook worms. ( or heart worm in the heart etc..) I am sure he gave you the medication for it. While you can purchase this medication for rounds over the counter at most pet stores, it is better to get it from the vet. Also a recheck in 3 weeks would be in order.

Awwww!!! Poor Casey. Change that diet cutie pie and the problem might disappear--I know Casey, easier said than done--right? Feel better!!

Oh Casey!
Those are NOT Tootsie Rolls!!

Oh poor Casey. Diets are tough, sweetie, but you can't "find" your own treats. Hope that Bubba's stool sample comes out clean and that Casey feels better soon.

Thanks everyone...borzoiman....she is getting rechecked in 3 weeks. Yes they did say that the roundworms are the easiest to treat.

All the animals are on flea meds and the dogs are on heartworm meds.

I thought about treating bubba and potter with over the counter but potter needs a rabies and a check out anyway and I think bubba's will be mostly no charge so I may as well leave it to the professionals.

It is the grossest thing casey will come in from outside and try to plant a big kiss on me with cat poo breath...yuck!

Casey, leave the kitty poo alone! Ebony is the same way about her nails. She will let my husband trim them but she isn't one bit happy when he does. I'm glad she got a clean bill of health. Hopefully she will stay out of the cat box. I wonder why dogs like to eat poo? I would think it would taste nasty.
