Sunday slept on Max's backpack last night and he said this morning when he looked at it, it was covered in tiny little white eggs - about a milimetre in size.

Could these be flea eggs?

All of the animals are in the middle of Capstar intensive flea treatments at the moment as we are having an infestation, and tonight the house is going to be thoroughly cleaned, and fumigated.

But we are a bit worried about these eggy things....any ideas?

Tapeworm eggs are white and visible by the naked eye.........

You should get Max to the vet to be dewormed, before he starts passing worms, because some species of tapeworm can be zoonotic.....

Sounds like tapeworm to me. They're not a very big deal, but do need to be treated. Make an appointment with your vet.

That's so funny - he is a stand-up comedian and one of his jokes is about the fact that his is such a commonly used cat/dog/pet name!!!

Thanks - we have already got a comprehensive flea and worm treatment for the cats which they were going to get tonight anyway, so I guess this is just confirmation.

Max is having a nervous breakdown he can't bear the thought of us maybe catching them!! Lol....so I've just gone and got a treatment for us, too.
