MEGABACTERIA ?!?! - 09/23/09 02:06 AM
that was the verdict from fecals on 5 of my furkids. I only took 6 in with me (well 7 but Leilani was being good sleeping in my bra so they didn't know she was there). They did fecals on everyone but Chewy since he was pretending to be a spy and watching every move the vet made. Since we already knew what we were dealing with we just let him be. I got to see the lil bug in the scope and read the vet book but still I have to see what this stuff is. all but 1 of the gliders checked had lost weight (Leave it to Noel to be the chunk who didn't cause she needs to drop about 50 grams!)
Now the question is why do my kids have yet another bird bug?
Why are other vets not seeing these things when they do the fecals! 3 times I have had other vets find nothing when in fact my kids did have a parasite. This makes me wonder how many people are getting told they are clear when they really are not.
How did they get it and why do my kids keep getting the odd stuff. Is it from living on a farm?
Good news is the vet is looking in to this. The kids are on the people Zpack med mixed compound just for them and a special high price from the pharmacy lol.
Over all I am thrilled cause the vet says Patches is not ready to say goodbye.
BUT REALLY WHAT THE HECK IS MEGABACTERIA anyway!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
