I've noticed Rylie scooting his butt some recently..and today I caught him scooting across the carpet...YUCK! After I got onto him, I looked under his tail and saw dried tapeworm segments
YUCK YUCK YUCK! I immediately called my vet who was booked up today, but was able to get into Banfield as a walk-in at 3:00. I took Rylie and Lacy in for fecal samples...I hadn't seen any on Lacy but wanted to make sure she was clear. So they both got examined and had fecals done. Lacy's was negative for any parasites, and Rylie got sent home with some pills for his tapeworms. UGH..worms are SO gross
Banfield is awesome - since I'm a vet student, I got free exams and office visits for both of them and 15% off the fecals and medications..I thought that was great!
Now I feel like I need to vacuum my whole house like crazy and wash everything
