Question by rchlpack: I just found a small white worm on my cat, right underneath his tail. Can my dog catch them from my cat?
The worm looked like a thin maggot. Does anyone know what kind it is? And do I have to take my cat to the vet, or can I get an over the counter med. Can my dog catch it? If I give my dog medication for worms, but doesn’t have worms, will it harm her?
Any info is greatly appreciated.
