I got Ricky Bobby from a shelter. I thought before they adopted out they check them for fleas, an other parasites. Don't most shelters do that?
I also took him to the vet for a checkup, vaccines, and to get him neutered. All in the same visit. The only health issue they came up with was earmites. And they gave him medicine. I wasn't able to stay for the exam(I know, bad mommy) but since he was getting fixed that day I had to drop him off early in the morning before work.
I just saw a roundworm on the fur by his butt.
I was really surprised because I just didn't expect that. I thought they would've checked for that at the shelter or the vets. Especially the shelter.
Now I've gotta take him to the vet just for deworming medicine.
I'm just really shocked. That's all.
Edit: At least I think it's the round worm. Isn't that the little one that looks like rice? Or is that pin worm? Ewwww!
