My cat was sitting on top of my mouse cage looking at my mice, and after I shooed her away I noticed a small white thing on the wall next to her. I took a closer look at it MOVED! Turns out it was some type of worm. I took the worm and put it in a vial and poured alcohol into it to preserve it (I didn't have any ethanol, so I used Absolut Vodka).
I did a search on the net and I found a pic that looked exactly like the worm I found, and it said it was a tape worm.
I'm freaking out now, cuz I know tapeworms can be transmitted to other animals (like us humans). Anyone know how I should go about solving this problem? I plan to take the worm into the vet tomorrow so he can take a look and I can get a positive ID on it.
