Living in a horror movie!!!

Apparently Layla's deworming treatment is VERY effective. She is passing all kinds of weird looking worms in her stool, and it is A NIGHTMARE. We can't leave the poo in the yard, or else the eggs in the poo will contaminate the soil. So guess who has to clean up all the poo for the next 3 weeks? Me, only me, with ziploc baggies. I had to bag one that was at least 5 inches long. It. Is. Horrible. I might put down diotomaceous earth in the backyard once the deworming process has taken place to possibly decrease the risk of her being reinfected and my family being infected. We are also going to wear shoes outside at all times now (even water shoes when playing in the sprinkler) and we are probably going to all do a single dose of Vermox (mebendazole). I am going to ask a couple of different doctors about it first to decide if we need to do it or not (naturopathic, GP, and gastro-doc). Yuck. Yuck yuck yuck. Poor Layla.

  1. Awww, poor little thing. Poor you for having to clean up after her...been there done that, wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Hopefully this is the last you will have to deal with it with this treatment.
