Hello Dogster pals...
I may have a big problem here. I know I can turn to my fellow Dogster pals for help, and not be too embarrassed.
Mom noticed my poo had funny looking sesame seed looking things in it, about a week ago. I had a sick belly too, and I threw up, what looked like sesame seeds. Mom called her father, he's a vet in NJ, and while she was talking to him she figured out I may have been getting into my cat sister's litter box. She has new litter, whole wheat, and the box says it's tasty to dogs, sweet. Mom thought I ate litter and got sick.
Then mom noticed that every now and then my poo would look funny, like it had seeds in it. But couldn't figure out how I was getting the litter, mom put up a litter hider that blocks the entrance and I can't get into now. So what's with the seeds in my poo?!?! and tonight my poo looked like seeds inside of, (how do I describe this?) sausage skin!!! That's what it looked like, the outside part of sausage YUCK with seeds in the middle!
Mom's brother told her tonight it might be WORMS!!! AHHH!!!! Mom will for sure not sleep tonight. Mom's brother said it could be worm eggs and tape worms can come from fleas.
I'm on Frontline, but there are lots of fleas in Tampa, maybe a few got on me and I ingested a flea, then got the tapeworm.
Mom cleans up my poo outside, but lots of people don't clean up after their dogs.
Okay, I feel so yucky I won't even stay upstairs with mom. I'm by myself on the sofa. Something is not right here.
Mom just did a litter test, she took clean litter and put in under the water, and it does look like seeds, like the stuff in my poo. Maybe it is litter.

I guess we will have to wait till morning and have mom call my grandpa again.
He might tell us to go to the vet down here, or maybe mom can take a picture of my poo and send it to him.

Well, I really needed to get that off my chest. Please let me know if you have ever experienced anything like this.
