    Hey Jackie,

    I'm near USF - I can meet you out that way (where you suggested) if there isn't a closer place. I'm getting ready to leave now to go to the vet to get Toby checked and get a subq going - he needs fluids. I will call you when I get back and let you know what time, etc... Thank you sooooooooooooooooooo much.

    Talk to you soon.

    Ok.....are you ready for this one???? Toby gave birth to a 9 inch round worm!!!! BARF!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We've named it Luigi - hee hee. The vet staff could not believe the size of the thing - neither could we.

    Toby is on a dewormer now, an antibiotic for coccidia, he got subq'd and is receiving 3ml's of pedilyte every hour along with the little bit of Fox Valley I have left.

    Jackie - did you get my telephone message? We got held up at the vet because of another case that showed up - so we didn't get home until a little while ago. Are you available to meet up tomorrow to do the FV exchange? Please call me - I'll PM you my # again.

    hope deworming will be effective and was caught in time... roundworm is one of the deadly squirrel parasites and if it gets to the nervous system...
    poor Toby... by the way, as far as I remember, humans are susceptible to roundworm, too...

    Did you ever get some FV? If not I can send you some ... I live too far to drive to you though (Ormond Beach ... just outside Daytona Beach). I can see if I can overnight it if need be. I don't have much ... I am waiting on my order from Nick any day now though.

    Poor Toby must be so thrilled now!

    Was it a Round worm or Tape worm??

    I hope he gets better FAST!

    The vet said it's a round worm - and let's just say eating spaghetti is out of the question for me for a very very very very long time.

    Now - onto something cuter.

    Here's Toby in his hammock after eating his FV w/Banana and some Pedilyte. What a day he's had. He wrapped himself up in the hammock and then stuck his little head through the opening for me to rub his head. I can't get over how tame he is for a wild - even the vet was amazed.

    Oh wow I live in St. Pete and have a ton of Fox Valley you could have as well. I am sorry I do not get on TSB as much as I should and I believe you are closer to Jackie but do not hesitate if you need some from me. Jackie has my number if it helps anyone.
    I hope Toby feels better soon. That is the worst monster size worm I have ever seen. Why it may even give me nightmares

    PM me if I can help please. Sorry I didn't see sooner.

    agreed!
    not a good choice in the worm department for sure
    Everything needs serious disinfected...thrown away.
    This is one tough cookie to rid. Be very careful.
    Yes, zoonotic.
    See you in the AM.
