| Update on our Mator I thought I would take a few minutes to update you all on my sweet morkie Mator. He is now 9 weeks old and doing great. His skin condition is all better, still not sure what it was, but all skin scraping and fungus tests they took never grew anything. thankfully. We are down to once a week with the medicated shampoo from the vet,but now we only have some puppy dandruff. He is eating great, and we are about 1/2 and 1/2 on switching over his food. He is up to 2.5 lbs already! He is very very playful and fun! His parasite tests have been negative, however I did find one, rather large round worm in his stool Saturday afternoon (after vet of coarse). He was wormed again at the vet Saturday morning and they tell me he will be until he is 16 weeks old. Im hoping finding worms is still okay... Not sure why the tests are negative but i found a worm, unless they test for other parasites, etc not specifically worms. (worm was like spaghetti so i believe its a round worm from online pics). Mator and my 3 yr old yorkie are getting along great. They play well. Mator is sleeping pretty good at night, but still getting up pretty consistantly around 3am and then a little before 6, hopefully he drops the 3ish wakeup soon . He is definately a mamas boy, much to dadas dismay ! Heres a recent picture!

| What a cutie, so glad his skin is looking better & the worm you saw may be a tape worm. |

| Where there is one worm there are others. Was he recently dewormed ? Did you save the worm to show the vet ? He def needs to be dewormed again. |

| He was given dewormer at the vets office the morning, i found the worm that afternoon at home in his stool. He is being wormed every 3 weeks at the vet.

| He is adorable! Glad to hear he is doing better. As far as the worms go, I would still call the vet on Monday and let them know that you found one on Saturday after your visit and see what they say - probably normal and nothing to worry about... but I would still want to know for sure.
