Pebbles vs. the Tapeworm
PostPosted: Tue May 13, 2008 8:29 pm
This sounds weird to pray about, but please pray for Pebbles. She has a tapeworm. Which is weird that she has one...she must have swallowed a flea sometime...but I put Advantix on her every month faithfully and she's on Sentinel for heart worm.
She started passing segments on Sunday..wasn't sure what it was. She passed another one today and I called the vet. They said it's a tapeworm and I have medicine to pick up tomorrow for her. Please pray for her --that this will be over soon --she appears to be suffering no ill effects though.
The main reason I am asking for prayer about this is for me. Worms freak me out. Now I am imagining worms everywhere--I stopped walking barefoot around my dorm...every long little piece of fuzz or paper is a worm --if it even is remotely in the right size/shape, it's a worm. I'm freaking out. I'm having a major case of the heebie-jeebies. Please pray for my peace of mind. What I'm experiencing is similar to when ants get in your car and you still feel them crawling all over you even though there aren't any. Your mind plays tricks on you.
Pebbles is definitely not allowed in my bed until after we are 100% sure it's gone. Ugh...*shudders*
Note: Again, worms freak me out. I will fish with minnows--put the hook in and everything. But not with worms--I make someone else bait my hook if we use them.
