We have two cats and one dog...all were rescues. One cat had worms when we found her as a stray, an the other two animals were from shelters, so any worms they had were taken care of there...<br><br>
Both cats stay inside (the dog goes outside when he wants to, but is inside most of the day). I just found a worm on one cat (the one that we have never treated for worms)...the other cat was treated years ago, so I know it couldn't be that they just infected each other...It looks like a grain of rice, and was still moving around- DH got it off and disposed of it but now I'm grossed out and freaking out!<br><br>
We have an 8 month old who is into putting EVERYTHING in his mouth...I'm so worried he'll get them! We'll call our vet tomorrow, of course, but I'd love any advice now. How do they get them if they don't go outside?! How high is the risk that my son can get them? Any advice on what to do until the vet can address it?
