| please help, is it tapeworms? (graphic pic) today my 2.5 month tiggy took a poop and as i picked it up i noticed this..... i know it's a pic of a poop; i hope i don't offend anyone i don't understand; i have had tiggy for almost 2 weeks now; and this is my first encounter. Tiggy has not been outdoors yet; .....however, Lulu and Chestnut has. They are on interceptor and frontline; is it still possible for them to transmit it to Tiggy? any advice please help; i have an appointment tomorrow with the vet anyway; i'll be bringing the poop too. tapeworms are also transmitted to humans; is there anything i can do right now to myself?

| Was it moving? Looks like a piece of grass or something he ate and passed. Tapeworms are white and flat with segmented bodies.

| I posted in the general section for your post. Tapeworms are white and flat with segmented bodies. Do a search online. Was it moving? I still think it looks like something he ate and passed, but a vet will be able to tell you for sure. Maybe just take it in and have them look at it before your appointment. If it's nothing you could save the cost of a visit. If it's something then you already have the appointment to get it taken care of.

| I think you should take a stool sample over to the vet to have it checked out. It doesn't look like much in the pic but if you are really that concerned, a trip to the vet is best. They can test it for worms and put you at ease. Good luck with your baby!!
