That was TOOOOO funny! Bitsy had worms about six months ago. She had no signs and we keep our dogs inside most of the time and I am overly paranoid about keeping them clean. We were doing our nighttime bed rituals and I had just laid down and Bitsy crawled on top of my chest for petting and loving like she usually does, and she turned her butt to my face which didn't bother me cause she's always so clean, and I was petting her........ low and behold, about two inches in front of my face, I saw worms crawling out of her butt and some were stuck in her fur and WIGGLING!!!
That's how I found out she had worms
Needless to say, I flipped out and took her to the vet the next day for medicine, and had to wash and sterelize everything!!! I worried too that I would get worms! I was paranoid for days!!! Vet said she ingested a flea and that's how she got them. I had no idea that's how they get them. We had been bringing our outside cat inside previously because the weather was really cold and I felt sorry for him, but after that, the cat hasn't been allowed inside since.
