Hi Kristen, when we brought Sissy home she came with her own pets (ear mites, fleas and tapeworms). We woke up one of those first morning to find "rice" in our bed, gross I know. I stuck some in a little bottle and ran to the vet and the receptionist took it for them to test but she said she didn't think it was tapeworm. They called a couple hours later for me to come over and get medication. I told them I wanted them both treated and they did because I didn't want them passing them back and forth.
Its great when they tell you something is wrong. Sissy is real good at telling me she has poop stuck to her butt and needs a bath!
The vet felt they didn't need to be retested and all her following check ups have never shown any sign of the little buggers.
