This nasty little thing is about 3-4 inches long!
Could this be what is causing her loose stools? She did get her wormer today. |
Don't panic. It is normal for you to see the worms after she has been dewormed. Diarrhea is also normal, too.
You are doing a great job job with her. Just keep doing what you are doing. She will do much better when the food she eats isn't being consumed by worms. Her mother is obviously infested with worms.
Be very sure to wash your hands thoroughly as roundworms are contagious to humans.
