Casey has roundworms

[Ginger's Mom]

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!

Jadapit...the problem is this cat has been outdoors for 6 years so he poos outdoors...for the litterboxes I bought the enclosed kind.

Yeah the vet says it is filet mignon to the dogs...yumm yumm....

Poor Casey, and poor kitty, too. I'm sure that's no fun.

It is totally disgusting the way dogs will eat cat poop if given half the chance. I have a gate with a hole big enough for Seine but too small for the dogs in front of her litter pan so we don't have that issue. Yuck!

I just called and got the kitty on the banfield wellness plan that the dogs are on...for one year of coverage it is the same price as one office visit...plus they will do all the leukemia testing and shots.

There is a 3 business day waiting period before I can take him in though, I am wondering if I should get him some over the counter in the meantime...does it really work over the counter I mean?

Well yes- but really any medication should come with an exam just to make sure something else is brewing at the same time..

Yes, I have an appt for an exam, I have to wait the three day waiting period and I am trying to coordinate the medicine with all the pets. I am just wondering...can someone tell me if the meds are the same over the counter or if it weaker and not so effective???
