Hi.. my cat, I had given him some of that dewormer from the store a while back because I completely forgot to tell my vet to hook him up the last time I went.. Is that stuff different then what happens at the vet?
Anyhow, I guess he has worms again. Today I found this eww worm on the base of his tail, at first I thought it was some fuzz or something but when I grabbed it it was all sticky, and it kept like, shortening itself into a ball then lengthening itself into this long worm looking thing. It was only about 1/4 inch or something at longest and it was this milky whitish color. Is this a round worm?
Ok and can humans get worms from cats? I'm kind of freaked out because he lays all over my bed and I found one of these before and I didn't know what it was (because it wasn't attached to him). So say in the event humans can get worms from cats, how does a human go about deworming themselves. Is there a preventative type pill or would I have to get tested and get a prescription and stuff? I'm tripping. Plus I was reading past posts and it mentioned about fleas carrying tapeworm and rox was having some flea problems before, hence I was having some flea problems, and I got quite a few bites over a period of time.. I mean I wanna lose weight but not from worms lol!
And say like.. do I call the doctor and be like ya I got worms? LOL. I saw this horrible picture on some faces of death wannabe website of this dead chick with tons of worms sticking out of her butt and that keeps entering my head as i think about that yucky worm I had in my hands earlier. I don't wanna die!!
