Magoo back to the white coats tomorrow

[lisalee]

So glad to hear it's nothing serious and Magoo is ok! Give him a big hug from me!

Lisa, It sure sounds like you have a wonderful vet. I'm also glad to hear that Magoo will be just fine.

Cats can get tapeworms from fleas and we can bring in the fleas on our shoes or clothing. This is the reason why I use advantage every month because I've had this problem in the past.

oh my gosh! he's so cute. what a poor baby! he just got hit with it all, huh? we all hope he gets well soon!!

I'm glad Magoo is better.

Pichu had the worm not long ago. I discovered almost like Kim (only I didn't touch them, THANK GOD!) We used toilet paper to collect them when we were seeing them (and believe me, WE WERE looking). I was wondering how did he get them, since he was dewormed and he's not going outside at all. Anyway, I bought some pills (not sure about the name) and pilled both Pichu and Juni.

By the way, I just found this page http://www.marvistavet.com/html/body_tapeworm.html
and I think it explains very well everything.

I don't know if you can get this product in the States, but it's called VIACUTAN and it's a great product.

It helped Beans a lot - She always had dry skin and what looked like dandruff.

Viacutan

Essential fatty acids are nutrients which cannot be made in the body and have to be provided in the diet. They are essential for the formation of new cells ant to keep the skin in good condition.
Viacutan uses the GLA (gamma linolenic acid) essential fatty acid and is a balanced combination of plant and fish oils providing very high levels of biologically active GLA to be used as a dietary supplement to help condition the skin in dogs and cats.

I missed this some how!

I'm glad that nothing serious is going on with Magoo

And I agree, your vet sounds great!!

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Yippie for Magoo!!! I am so glad you have such an understanding vet!!

[QueenScoopalot]

Happy day!! And happy White Coat visit (if that could be possible)! What a terrific find you got Lisa...glad there's such a nice local vet who is more understanding then that other one.

Strongid, which is the standard yellow kitten dewormer, doesn't kill tapeworms. You need Droncid or some other med like that. Once in a while I get a cat with tapeworm...eww!

I'm glad Magoo is OK.
