    Magoo back to the white coats tomorrow

    Poor Mr. Goo is having some problems and we are going to see the doc tomorrow. He is itching and itching non stop! I thought it was a food allergy from when I tried switching them to a new food but he hasn't had that food in weeks and he is still itching. He has rubbed his chin raw from the constant chewing and he has pulled out almost all of his downy undercoat. (and left it in every room and on every piece of furniture in the house I might add ) I kept thinking it was just taking time for it to leave his system but now I'm thinking it may be seasonal.
    To make matters worse I was brushing him last night and I thought he had a piece of fuzz on his behind and I picked it off only to find it was moving!!!!!! I have had a stomach virus and I am not going to discuss this "worm" any further for fear I won't be able to finish this thread!
    His eye is filling up again but it isn't as bad as it appears in these pictures. Actually hubby and I have been surprised at how slow it has been filling this time.
    So tomorrow afternoon Goo will get checked, wormed, eye drained, and we will discuss the date of the surgery with the doc.

    Here are a few pics of the Goo man

    What? I don't want to stop scratching!!

    I love that curly hair on his belly! Yes, I had to give belly rubs and schmoozles after I took this picture.


    No matter how bad things get he always hugs momma.


    Say some prayers that all goes well tomorrow and we can get Goo back to his not so itchy self! Poor baby.

    Poor Magoo - nothing worse than an itch that won't go away.

    Sending prayers and good thoughts south to you all. BTW - did you save the fuzz on his behind to show the Vet?

    Poor Gooster! Maybe a shot of depomedrol (cortizone) will help him stop the fur yanking, and all the itching. Hope you're bringing the creature from the deep south with you for Doc to check out. Or maybe a broad spectrum wormer's needed? Kiss the handsome curly belly haired boy for me please!

    EWWWWWWWWWWWE!!! NO I'm not taking the wiggly thing with me!!! Gross!!! It was the "rice" that I so kindly picked from his behind and promptly flushed while I gagged. I'm not normally weak and this is certainly not the first time I have had to deal with it but this was right after the first dinner I had been able to eat in days. I was not about to save that disgusting thing!!!
    I think I'm going to ask for a broad spectrum wormer for everybody in the house. I'm sure I will be needing stitches before this weekend is over when I try to medicate them all but it has to be done. I hate medicating!

    Ah yes, the "moving rice". I remember it well. My sentiments exactly!

    Do ya think maybe he's got an allergy to the worms? It IS possible. In any event, good luck Magoo! And Lisa, got any heavy duty garden gloves you can wear while medicating him? Just a suggestion.

    Well, tapeworms= Fleas , so he most likely has FLEA ALLERGY! My Tucker had this, even though I would have sworn he had no fleas, and ended up pulling most of his fur out! Deworming and flea treatment, and I bet he will clear up quickly!

    Aww, Magoo are you allergic?

    Best wishes. Hope it's something that can be helped right away, so you can get rid of that annoying itching.

    Poor Goo. Hopefully Kim is right and it's a simple flea and worm fix.

    I've had that lovely "oh what's this little piece of spaghetti doing on your butt" experience. Then later, "what's rice doing on my blanket?" horror show. ICK!!!!! I know now but was naive to the world of tapeworms back then. NASTY!

    Poor Gooster!

    I vote for Kim's theory

    I too think that it is a flea egg/worm thing. Pretty common. I can recall two different episodes of this with former, inside cats. I couldn't figure out where the flea eggs came from, as they never ever went outside. Flea eggs can be in dry cat food from what I was told. That's scarey, isn't it?

    Keep us posted. I love that Mr. Magoo.

    Good luck! Keep those gloves handy.
