tikeyas_mom:wow!!! she got a tapeworm from a flea!!!!!!! eeeps!!!! poor Sheba>>>>>

I always go on poop patrol to make sure
poop looks normal while picking up.
(notice something like rice on the stool)
Vet put her on some Meds. and she was fine.

Ugh. When we first got Chester he was loaded with 'em. It was really gross and very obvious, if you get my meaning.

He was covered in fleas so I knew he must have had worms and as I said that to Michael, uh... it became evident.

We actually had to do the medication twice to totally clear them up.

No question, worms are gross. Must feel horrible, too!

Nope, no worms here. But Timber's vet will mail us a notice every month reminding us that she needs to take a med.
