Stomper had roundworms! Hi All,
I'm so upset right now. I don't know if you recall, but about 4 months ago I sent an email that Stomper is always itching like crazy and his stole is always soft.
For the last 4 months, I've been taking Stomper to the vet (this is my 2nd vet now!) and they said he has "severe allergies". He was put on tons of medication which I did not like at all. I brought in a stole sample because I told them it was always soft. They did a test and found nothing... Still taking 4 different types of medication, I took him in again and asked them to run another test on the stole. Sure enough...he had roundworm!
I was very upset because I have spent about $500 in the last 4 months taking him for visits, havings his anal checked, pills, etc. The admitted that the first time they only checked for one type of worm and that is why they missed it. I'm upset now. They think Stomper has had these worms for his enitre life.
Lesson: Don't listen to your vet - if something doesn't seem right go back or go to someone new.
Poor Stomper does not itch nearly as much as he did before, so I am so thankful that I proved the vet wrong.
