Normal for a cat to vomit a tapeworm vs the worm coming out in the stool?

I've been posting to usenet since 1988. Clearly clueless since 1988. I know what usenet is, and how it should be used. It IS NOT "bad" to crosspost when the groups being posted to have something in common with the subject matter being discussed. Then you should know the difference between multiposting (good) and crossposting (bad). -mhd |

Then you should know the difference between multiposting (good) and crossposting (bad). You do realize that you just stuck your foot in your mouth, don't you? Multi-posting is widely recognized as being *bad* usenet etiquette. Posting (or cross-posting) content not related to the target group(s) is also bad usenet etiquette. |

I'm re-posting this because AMUN removed some of the distrubution
groups before I realized it. I'm restoring them. AMUN wrote: Gee whiz. I caused all this trouble ? Only because my news-server only allows posts to one group, to avoid spam. You appear to be using the AIOE.ORG news server, as do I. That server allows cross-posting to 3 groups (without specifying a followup-to: group) and up to 5 groups (requiring you to specify a followup-to: group). In most cases, 3 groups is sufficient. In some cases, 5 can be useful. |

We recently gave one of our cats a deworming pill (milbemax) and later found a worm (sorta looked like a tan-colored rubber band) in a pile of vomit. I thought that tape worms reside or attach to the intestinal wall (and not the stomach wall) and therefore when the worm leaves the cat it's by way of the stool. So is it normal, or unusual, for the worm to be vomited out? If you are seeing an actual worm when the cat regurgitates food, the cat can ingest the worm while grooming. Tape worms look exactly like rice. If it is a roundworm, which will be visible in vomit, its more spaghetti-like. Before the cat is infested this bad with worms , your pet will be obviously ill. It will be hard to actually see a tape worm that has been ingested and comes back up in vomit. The likely way your cat can actually do this with a tape worm, it will be ingested and thrown up immediately. If this happens again. Take the worm to your vet, they can identify under a microscope. You will have to do this fairly soon, as the worm will dry up. |

I also have had a cat barf up a tape worm. We took it to the vet where they confirmed the identification and finally issued the meds that we had been requesting they give us for weeks. The rice you've seen are tapeworm segments that are shed. The cat cannot get a tapeworm from ingesting the segments. The cat must ingest the intermediary host (flea or rodent) in order to acquire a tape worm. W |

Ignore my reply with apologies (heh, maybe I cancelled it in time). It's multiposting that is bad and crossposting is the correct form. -mhd My problem with all this is that I never know how to make sure that the original poster receives my answer without posting my reply to all the groups he has listed in his header.....IOW, where, exactly is he posting from? If I knew that, then I could eliminate all the other groups from the header, and confine the answer to the original poster's group, plus, (perhaps) any other groups that might also be interested. But without knowing that, I have little choice but to post my answer to all the groups in the header of the original post. |
