I need help!!!!!! Kayah, my 3 year old, JUST spit out a worm!!!! OMG I don't know what to do.. I will be taking her to the vet in the morning but maybe someone on here can tell me now what it is... It's a tiny worm, about the size of rice, and it's white/clear.. She was hacking and finally itcame out along with blood... omg what can this be?! she's utd on all her shots.. I'm so worried.. PLEASE someone help!!! |
anybody? please someone help me |
I wish I knew something to tell you...I'm sure someone will be post up to help you soon. Sorry for your baby.... |
thank you.. I tried reading to see if maybe I can figure it out.. but any type of worm can be coughed up.. vet's office opens at 9.. we'll see then.. worst part is, the bf hates of worms.. so I can't even let her on the bed:(:( |
Gosh...you must be so scared! I tried googling and didn't come up with much. I wonder if it's tapeworm, but I think they usually come out the butt. I will say a prayer for your little sweetheart and check back for an update. Hugs to you! Oh...did you save the worm to show your vet? Just put it in a jar in your fridge maybe? |
that would freak me out! I'd be more worried about the blood than the worm, but yeah... I really hope she's ok. Good Idea Connie, save the worm to show the vet... |
Yes I did save the worm.. but I put it in a ziplock bag.. Thanks you guys for your thoughts and prayers:) My vet opens at 9 so I'll be back on with an update as soon as I can.... I'm just praying to God it's not a heartworm |
Sexiixtc ….. it could be *round worms* check this website ……… Intestinal Worms in Dogs and Cats at ThePetCenter.com Also, if at all possible, try to get a stool sample to take into the Vet in the morning. Watch for your baby to poop and then put your hand in a sandwich baggy, pick up the poop and turn the bag over onto it - then put it into another ziploc. DON'T refrigerate - just set aside and take in to the Vet. HTHs ……… |
Does your vet have an emergency line? They can help you over the phone and tell you if it's an immediate emergency or not. |

I just wanted to say I hope she's ok! Camden had worms when we adopted her in April, but none that she coughed up. They all came out the other end, so I'm not sure about your situation. Please let us know if she's ok! Positive thoughts being sent her way!! |
Sounds like roundworms, and if they are heavily infected, they will throw them up. Blood is not unusual with this kind of parasite. They usually poop them out. BUT they can throw them up. It is not life threatening UNLESS untreated for a very long period of time. Dont worry, just get her to the vet for meds;) |
well it's tapeworms:( the vet was in surgeory and won\'t be out till 2pm, so that is when I have to take them back to get them treated |
Thank goodness you at least know what it is. I don\'t think tapeworm can be passed on to humans, so that\'s a good thing. You poor thing...did you get any sleep at all last night? *HUG* |
I am so thankful you found out what was wrong. Poor lil baby. Wish you the best @ the vets this evening. |
