her anus. They're white, thin, flat, and looked just like fettucine. Some are short, but some are 30cm long! (Eeeek!!!) At first I thought they're worms cuz most strays have them in their inside. But I remember there're no such things in her poo. "Mmm, not worms?" Then I thought it might be a part of intestine. Oh, gosh! I rang Christin and went to see the vet. Fortunately they're worms. I asked my vet whether it's contagious to kittens later on, then he said "Positive". He also said they're probably tapeworms (条虫) from their length and shape, not roundworms (回虫) or hookworms (鉤虫). Well, to me, they're all same though... I'll keep my eye on Heidi anyway. (Warning: Today's photo might be graphic for someone, not cute at all.)

Day 15: Heidi's worms @4.0kg
This afternoon, I found something hanging from
her anus. They're white, thin, flat, and looked just like fettucine. Some are short, but some are 30cm long! (Eeeek!!!) At first I thought they're worms cuz most strays have them in their inside. But I remember there're no such things in her poo. "Mmm, not worms?" Then I thought it might be a part of intestine. Oh, gosh! I rang Christin and went to see the vet. Fortunately they're worms. I asked my vet whether it's contagious to kittens later on, then he said "Positive". He also said they're probably tapeworms (条虫) from their length and shape, not roundworms (回虫) or hookworms (鉤虫).
