I wonder why he got so yellow all of a sudden. I was just thinking yesterday that his BG was looking fantastic. Love to Tiger!

Thank you Suzanne.
This morning I pulled a 3 inch hairy worm out of his penis!!! Probably the cause of all his current issues I'm guessing. Made a vet appointment for thursday. It is very rare-called hairy/bladder worms according to the internet info...

OH MY!!! HOLY COW! WOW! I can't believe it. I am astonished and disgusted at the same time. Poor Tiger. And I thought it was bad when my cat coughed up a round worm one time and when another rescue cat coughed up the longest flat tape worm that I had ever seen (they can migrate up to the stomach, which is what happened in this case). I feel awful for Tiger. What is the treatment? How in the world could he get this?

I don't know how he got it if that is what it is.

It's weird. The thing I read said it was from eating earthworms! I don't think Tiger's been outside for a long time. I wonder if a microscopic larvae could have gotten into him somehow. Anyway, he's got it. You've got the evidence. So now to treatment. I see that treatment includes the usual dewormers like Fenbendazole and a few others (like Ivermectin... oops, I hope I won't be banned for using this word... oh, right, this isn't Facebook). I guess Revolution doesn't work on this kind of worm (unfortunately)!

I guess not! I did treat him with revolution a week ago. Maybe that helped make the one wiggle out yuck! Also putting turmeric/coconut oil/salt mixture and olive oil on him. Turmeric is anti parasitic.
Figures he would get more weird/rare s**t!
