Gracie's been with me for about five (anxiety-riddled, for me) days, and I'm 99% sure she has tapeworms. I've found several gummy or dried out rice-grain-sized white things on her tail/haunches over the past few days.
Thankfully, she has her first vet visit later this afternoon, anyway.
My question is: what can I expect? What do/will I need to do?
I know she'll be given a deworm/deflea treatment at the vet today (she had those done two weeks ago at the shelter, but I guess there were tapeworm eggs that hatched and grew since), but is there stuff *I* need to do at home?
I assume I'll need to dump all her litter (post-treatment), wash out the box, etc., but is there anything else?
Thank you in advance!
