Not all worm meds are created equal. Different worms are more sensitive to different poisons.</p> <p>The Vet will probably give her a different vermifugative. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18931#post-413348 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 13:07:19 +0000 SylMiaFelixMomma 413348@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>That is so great she is doing much better. I love the new photos of her on her Catster page. Sumi is a real beauty! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18931#post-413335 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 12:27:18 +0000 corzak 413335@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I'm so glad Sumi is doing well, and that you have gotten some answers from the vet. She sure is cute! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18931#post-413334 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 12:22:21 +0000 Kilroy 413334@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>She is so adorable, Eleniki. You're taking great care of her; I hope you have her company for years and years to come. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18931#post-413330 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 12:05:58 +0000 eleniki 413330@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Lol, 2BP, I would have loved to hear that squeal! No, I think it'll be fine, but yes, you'd worry about the next pill and her reaction. Not sure I could go thru all that again. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18931#post-413310 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 11:34:33 +0000 2bpurring 413310@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thanks for the update and bless you for taking such good care of her. I have no doubt that you and your vet will beat these worms and soon will have a completely healthy little girl!</p> <p>OMG...I just looked at the newest pics you posted of her on catster and actually squeeled out load at my desk!!! She is just beautiful!!! What a great mama you are!!!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18931#post-413298 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 11:18:40 +0000 Tigerlilly 413298@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thanks for the update. Oh my , if the vet thinks she reacted to the worming, what a worry now that she has to be re-wormed. I wonder if there is anything that she can be given to prevent a repeat reaction. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18931#post-413290 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 11:01:35 +0000 eleniki 413290@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi guys - just thought I'd let all you caring and interested fellow TDKers know that my vet, Ruth, rang me today to ask how sumi is doing, and of course the answer is, just terrific, but also to tell me the result of her feces test showed no protozoan parasites, but did come up with a fair number of TAPE WORM eggs. This was surprising in such a young kitten, and more surprising as she had been wormed 3 times altogether. Her illness was not a result of the worm, but a reaction to the 3rd wormer. Again, the question is, why did she not react that way to the 2 previous doses, which were both at 2 week intervals before this one? Cats only have a bad reaction to a worming pill when they are infested, and Ruth said she must have been pretty infested to still be showing some eggs in the diahrrea 5 days after the pill and such a thorough cleaning out of her intestines. So, she has to have further worming of course, but Ruth says she wants to give her little system a rest, so we're waiting 10 days, when she is due her 2nd vaccination anyway. She also wants to weigh sumi, as she is now concerned to see she is gaining weight. She said it all would have happened no matter what, as sumi would not have thrived with tapeworm in her, and it would eventually have led to a blockage. So, it had to be gone through. She would have picked it up from her mother, as sumi was a rescue, found wandering alone at 5 weeks or so. But again, it is very unusual to find such a lot of tapeworm eggs in such a youngun. Anyway, at least we know - it can drag on with tapeworm, but we'll keep treating her at intervals.<br /> Thanks again for all the well wishes and caring posts, and lovely messages via Catster too! </p>
