Shes good, No more sighns of it

Mabye it was a stringy protein thing. I thaught it was butthole worms like a cat i had years ago. But it wasnt moving or alive

 

[Miss Lydia]

Whew glad to hear that.

 

[Jpat]

I hope its not tape worm or something

 

[Miss Lydia]

I hope not either but I have never had tape worms in any of my birds round worms I have had in my chickens. Look up pics of tape worms that didn't look like any I have ever seen. I believe tape worms come from fleas. Or I know that is how dogs get them and cats.

 

[Jpat]

pretty sure its a tape worm. Any segestions

 

[Jpat]

my whole family probably has them now

How old is she? I ask because I think she is too young for tapes. If she has tapeworms she needs to be treated with praziquantel.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Really? Well let’s get @casportpony here for the birds maybe something like Safe guard wormer for humans I have no idea. How do you know you all have them? Seen in poo?

 

[Miss Lydia]

Oh good there you are K.
