Thanks guys! I think it's a flea thing too even though I see know signs of any on him or any of the other kitties. I was going to treat him but I wasn't sure that I should since he will probably get a cortisone shot and I didn't know if there needed to be a certain amount of time between the two. I will treat everyone for both. Twelve cats to pill!!:eek: Oh yippee!;) :D
Prayers on the way for sweet little Mr. Magoo..
*KISSES* on the way for him too...:)
I'm sorry to hear that Magoo is so itchy and has worms too.:( I hope that everything goes well at the vet and that you're able to treat all of your furkids without any problems. I've been through the flea and tapeworm problem before so now I give my furkids advantage every month. Good luck.:)
Poor mister Magoo!! I hope that the vet can help him as soon as possible....! I'm sorry for you too because you'll have to pill all the other cats, but it has to be done if you want the problem out of the house permanently !
I wish ye luck :D
One question: why do the fluids always get back in his eyes? Cannot this be cured?
Poor Magoo. He's such a sweetheart. That worm thing would have grossed me out and I'm not sick. So, I hope things go well for him at the vet. And I surely don't envy you having to give 12 cats pills! I would love to watch, though :p
We pray,that Scrappy Magoo,is all right,and Scrappy,and Poub\ncer Angel,will go over,with Magoo,to the vets,and keep his spirits up.
Poor Magoo. Hope all goes well at the vets.
Good luck at the vet, Magoo. Pippin is thinking of you especially!
Whoever removed his eye initially, didn't quite get all of the tear gland. CCL is working towards having it removed surgically!;)Quote:

UPPYDATE:
Thanks Kim for answering the question for me. I was off to the White Coat with Magoo.
We are home and Goo is fine. The doc checked him really good and could find no flea dirt at all but lots and lots of white dandruffy stuff. He gave him a cortisone shot and suggested adding Cod Liver oil to his food daily to help replenish the good Omega3 fatty acids back into his skin. He said his coat looked good and healthy. He also didn't want to do anything to Goo's chin because he felt like that would heal after the itching went away.
I LOVE THIS DOCTOR!!!! We talked about the worm situation and he was going to give us some pills. Of course they are about $10 a piece and I asked him if there was a good all around wormer for less since we were going to have to do all twelve. I also explained to him that I was not looking forward to pilling some of our brats. This doctor actually listened to me!!! He said he didn't blame me and he had a solution. He gave us Panacur Granules. I can mix it in their food or in a paste to rub into their fur!!! YIPPEEEEEE I won't be in the emergency room this weekend!!!!:D :D :D I promise you Peanut Butter, Maggie Sue, Stubby, and Pete would have turned me into mince meat! I have been stressing just thinking about it! *wipes sweat from head*
About Goo's surgery...The doc is trying to find a friend of his that is an animal optomologist (sp). He said he really doesn't want to put Magoo through an unnecessary surgery or take our money and it not work. He wants to contact her before he does anything. He has been having trouble locating her and the holidays made it harder. He is going to continue to try to locate her for advice before he does anything with Goo. I appreciate that and we will wait until he feels confident that he is correct in his diagnosis.
Now that I have written a book I will shut up! That's all the news on the Goo Man.:)
Wow, your vet sounds like a saint! I am happy he was able to offer an alternative to the expensive and scary pilling.
Poor Goo was just itchy from dry skin. I know what thats like myself in the winter. :)
Oh yeah, the Pancur Granules for all twelve cost me $15!!!! that sure beats the heck out of $120!!!;) :D
I was lurking yesterday as I didn't really have time to post and when I saw this thread I was too scared to open it. Well, today, I took a deep breath, prepared myself with a box of kleenex and took a peek.
PPPPPPHHHHHHEEEEEEEEWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Iam SOOOOOO glad to hear that everything is going to be okay and especially glad to read that you won't be landing up in the emergency room Lisa. :D
Give that vet of yours a big hug for me as he sounds like a saint for sure.
Please give my darling Magoo a big hug and kiss for me Lisa.
Hope and pray that all turns out well for everyone.
Lorraine, thank you for saying that you were afraid to open the thread. So was I and I second the PHEW:)
I am really interested to know how inside cats can get worms. Mine never had- up to now but I thought they cannot get them.
I am glad to hear, Magoo is fine and hope the cortisone helps.:)
I'm sorry you guys if I scared you with the thread title. I didn't mean too.:) Believe me, if something serious was wrong with the Goo Man I would have had a frantic thread title!:eek:
Barbara I'm thinking that Goo may have gotten worms from the Baby Brats when we brought them in. We wormed them within the first week we had them but I'm sure they could have already spread. With clumping litter you can't really see if there are any critters in the poo!:p
