Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2008Mosey Update :)
Just got back from TED and it turns out Mosey has a tapeworm. TED gave him a shot fur that and some stuff for furballs and told us to put him on a poultry diet, so we're going to the store and getting some poultry soft fud and some poultry babyfud as well. Thank you for all your purrs, they really helped. Turns out that even tho he has a tapeworm, he's gained 3/4 of a pound, so he'll be just fine. His teeth are fine and TED told me I was doing a great job with his teeth:) Mosey was mad that he had to go to TED, but the Dr is very friendly, and wants to re-check him in about a month and it only cost us $50, for the visit, the shot and the furball stuff he sent home with us. I just wanted to let you know. Mosey will post later on, on rpcc. I'm relieved it wasn't more serious. TED told us to keep him off the dry. catfud, which will be hard, because we have 4 Cats and feed them 2 kinds of dry food. So, in a few minutes, we'll be off to the store to get him some poultry canned fud and some poultry barekitten fud. Thanks SO much for your purrs and prayers for him. They really helped. :) Love and Hugs Kyla > Just got back from TED and it turns out Mosey has a tapeworm.

Does the cat then have to pass an entire dead worm or does it break up or what?

Geez, I have no clue. I guess I can call TED tomorrow, and find out or just look in Mosey's erm, 'stool'. When TED went to take his tempurature, he 'saw' the worm, and then told us 'Mosey has a tapeworm'. And then he gave him the injection. I never thought of that. ewwwwww.

Here's an article about tapeworms from a site called TalkToTheVet.com http://www.talktothevet.com/ARTICLES/PARASITES/tapeworms.HTM It seems tapeworms are not so dreadfully bad for the pets as many other intestinal parasites.

Interesting. Sounds like kyla should make sure everything is flea free to avoid re-infection.

It apparently breaks up into segments.

Yeah, the furball med TED gave him to take, when I offered him a taste, Mosey made this 'face, like ewwwwww', so I mixed some with his favorite toofpaste, which is poultry flavored. We got some syringy thingys to give it to him, and his long-haired sister, and I use the toofpaste on them daily. >> Mosey was mad that he had to go to TED, but the Dr is very friendly, and >> wants to re-check him in about a month and it only cost us $50, for the >> visit, the shot and the furball stuff he sent home with us. >> I just wanted to let you know.

Yes, yes it is, and thank you for the purrs:) Not good news for the worm but for everybody else. LOL, Roger Waters has a song called Waiting 'For The Worms'.
