Reason #857 why my week sucks

[devilgrrl]

This is not my week. I didn't really expect it to be, with school starting and all, but it just got better yesterday. Why?

Because a worm fell out of my cat's butt.

They don't go out. One of them has never been out and the other hasn't been out in almost a year. They've both been to the vet recently, for Christ's sake, and they were fine. But no, after being late for school and missing dinner, I needed cat butt worms to boot.

And of course, does anyone want to take them to the vet? No. All I get is fix it with my invisible money and spare time. Yay. Also, Steven is convinced we're all going to get tapeworms and die. I told him not to lick the cat's butt and he should be fine. If not, hey, he keeps saying he wants to lose weight...

Internets, does anyone have a suggestion for a good dewormer? Or at least what to avoid? I know nowitsdark0 gave me suggests already, but I am open to more.

Someday, I will write a nice entry about my trip to Vermont (Or: How I Feel Down A Hill) and my classes, but I'm too headachy.

Oh noes! Butt worms! I have never experienced that. I have no idea what to do, other than pay exorbitant vet bills to rid kitteh of that. :-O

It was the worst thing ever. I seriously thought it was a Ramen noodle at first until IT TWITCHED! And then, I died.

I told the cats I was going to sell them to the gypsies, but they're probably getting some kind of dewormer my mum buys.

Augh, if it's not one thing it's another!

Unfortunately, the best dewormers are the vet-prescribed ones.
Some vets will accept a poop sample in lieu of an office visit with kitties. And you have to treat them both or it's no good. :/

Hope things start looking up for you soon!
*hugs*

Oh yea, I remember the treat them both or there will be more worms.

I'm hoping someone will be willing to suck it up and take the cats/pay for it (read: Mum or Grandpa). I can't take them until next Thursday because of school and I am negative several hundred because I have to buy books and art supplies.

Thank god they're cute, you know?

Out of curiosity, do they have fleas?
Only asking because fleas carry worm eggs. :/
(yeah, ew)

Nope, they are flea free as far as we know. That's what's baffling me so much. They've been fine for so long, they don't go out, I have no idea what the issue is.

the vet should have something pretty potent to help with that. i think i would pretty much cry if a worm fell out of my cats butt. for serious.

Sadly, this is not the first time I've seen this happen. Our other cats had worms in the past, so I was very meh about it. Steven, however, flipped :)

I don't know you, but I read your comments on Katie's LJ, so I just had to check you out too.
Let me just say my co-workers are all looking at me like I'm stoned right now.
And I'm sorry to laugh at your bad day, but jeezum pete...
