I read the other thread and the scabies diagnoses is probably right on.

Major house cleaning for mum too. Lots of ammonia in the laundry. Sounds like a nice Christmas present, Sunshine. Wear gloves. I'd boric acid the place but you already know that.

I keep providone iodine in the shower for an occasional top level parasite kill myself. Put some on the washcloth as you soap up, work from the head down. Iodine does kill parasites, even kills eggs. A big bottle for mum's shower also recommended.

Well, 4 or 5 days outside seems to have been good for little cat. She has to stay out a good couple weeks longer, but, she has stopped lunging and hissing at fat cat. I let fat cat out twice today to do her business and both times, little cat comes running, but not hissing anymore, and fat cat, who is very friendly and subdued, has finally had a few moments to show her a bit of affection by lovingly sniffing little cat's nose.

I think little cat has realized that fat cat is a good friend finally, she is more than just a tad lonely on the porch all night.

I really have to look up and try to find out what exactly type of worm eggs are those that come out of her butt. There was one there today too I saw when she walked by. I fear she has a tapeworm really. From what I've read tapeworms are really hard to get rid of. I have been dosing that cat with so much black walnut it really is serious...

BUT, at least I know for sure now that I don't have one because I guess I would have little worm eggs in the same place!

sorry, no photo of the cat's butt available.
