And now they are showing the effects.

Please keep my baby in your thoughts and hope he is ok. I will call our vet and see if I can get him in tommorow.

I'll keep everyone updated.
If Bear had fleas back in July and was treated, Tapeworms would not be the issue.. I am sorry and do not mean to be graphic: Tapeworms look like bits of rice in the stool.. Roundworms are long, white worms and you will see them in the stool.. Coccidiosis cannot be seen by us looking in his stool, he would need a fecal ran for that.. But it does not sound like Bear has any of these problems..

Keep us posted..
