| Those are not tapeworms...I think it's the flies that laid the eggs and it turns into maggots? Bf agrees that I should throw it away. They recently had a dewormer and no worms...no symptoms of worms either. Should I still do a fecal? Okay, I just googled fly maggot and those are EXACTLY what the things look like!! GROSS!! Now I'm too scared to throw it out It's giving me the creeps!!!

| Can you put a couple in a plastic bag and take them to the vet to ask for advice? I would check your babies' bodies all over very closely.

| yeah I'll call the vet tomorrow to ask. I just checked them and there's nothing on them...what should I be looking for? bumps? They both had a annual examination last week and the vet checked them and found nothing...we've been using the patch for 1.5 years...boy I feel terrible. Should I just use potty pads now?

| We do have two patch. Never had such a problem until we move to this apartment...do you think it's the apartment or the area? We used the patch since they were 6 months old. My bf says that there weren't these "things" when they used the patch at his house. I thought it was because I wasn't cleaning it often enough, but today I checked, they are already there and I just washed last week! I may just end up taking them outside from now on. Next place we get, we will have to find one with a yard.

I know you are saying it's not near their poop or them but I find it suspect that you are only seeing the worms in the potty patch -- are they anywhere else? The potty patch if washed regularly as you are doing and have been for 1.5 years seems to not be an environment to cultivate worms, especially if you are promptly picking up feces.

Yes maggots can go into their skin, there are members here who had to have maggots removed from their dogs. Call the vet as soon as you can. An exterminator too. Good luck!!

| omg I think that is what it is!! I just look at their butt, Carmel's penis, and Emma's vagina. There's nothing, all looks normal. Thank God!! Fortunately, I don't think it got onto Carmel and Emma, but now I'm scared it got onto me...I washed it before and saw them...if they got into my skin, I would know right...? I just checked my babies and there's nothing on them.
