<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We never look for trouble around here. It
seems to show up on its own. Just in the past month we've had one with
tick fever and one with pancreatitis. The funds are depleting
quickly.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Debby and I were able to rescue two beautiful
bassets last week which she is fostering. I remember her commenting
that when they went to the vet they had different types of worms and that
the meds for that were pretty expensive.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> So last night for no reason at
all I decided to check poop. All my dogs had tapeworms!!!! I was
horrified. I called Debby and was telling her about it, speculating how
much this was going to cost me. I have one that's ready for neuter but
have to keep putting it off because all the others have immediate issues that
have to be dealt with. So we're talking and talking and I keep saying how
it looks like rice, looks like rice. Then it hits me. It could be
rice. Since Beachbaby's bout with pancreatitis, I have been feeding some
chicken and brown rice in the mornings, regular food in the
evenings.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> So now I'm confused. Is it
tapeworms or brown rice? I'm thinking I'll stop the rice for a few days
and check poop again.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> If there's anyone that cares
about my bank account, please do the rice stomp for us.</FONT></DIV>
