Okay so I picked up roxy tonight and after putting her back in the cage I noticed a weird spongy glob on my hand so I wiped it off and took a look at her anus and vagina.. I thought it was a mucous of some sort .. upon inspection I find another weird clump... This time I took a really close look.. AND IT WAS MOVING! It was a clump of worms, moving around fast. It was a whitish colour and tiny little worms! I wiped it off my finger and proceeded to freak out!
What should I do, I will try to get a vet appointment for Saturday morning but I cant know for sure til tomorrow... since it is the middle of the night.. should I separate her? Is there anything I can do for her now? does this mean the boys have worms too? I took a look at the poops around the cage.. most are normal, but some are smaller and darker? do you think those are hers? Should I separate her to monitor her bowels? I dont want to stress her by putting her in the little cage..
Everything I have read says it is mostly in young males.. she is 29 months and a girl.. what could have caused this? Do I treat it with ivermectin? Should I treat everyone?
She is so old and there is just so much going wrong with her, first cataracts, then I find a mammary tumor that might be growing.. now these worms! I don't know how much she can take and I am starting to feel like its leading up to the end
