We wormed Little Orphan Amy with Equimax (for 110#) two days ago. This afternoon while I was getting cow buckets ready, Robert said, "Come here, look at this!" And there, in a fresh deposit of donkey poop were about three or four 5-6" long horrible gray worms (dead, thank God). :jaw: I'm not good with wormy things, as I've said before, but I scooped that pile up immediately and dumped it in the woods, NOT the manure spreader. And thirty minutes later, another deposit with one more of those ghastly things! :jaw:

I'm guessing round worms? I can't wait to worm her again, but I have to wait two weeks. Already she appears to be losing some of that full belly look; could it actually happen that fast? What should I be looking for in the poop piles now? If I see anything moving, I will positively have a stroke. That poor baby!

You must get video of it if its moving! :teehee: :teehee:

One time I found a really long one in a poop pile, scared the crap out of me. I too pitched it out in the woods. I cant tell you what kind of worms they are but thank goodness miss Orphan Annie is getting rid of those nasty life sucking &%$#!

We need more pics of the little girl and her new waist line! :cloud9:

Oh yeah, it happens pretty fast OTF. I've seen PILES of them out of some poor beasts.

Here is an article with pictures attached for ID: Probably a good idea to try to ID them. :spew: Poor poor little long earred Amy!!! :(

Oh, the poor, poor thing!!!! Yes, I am also glad that you did not post pictures but I will be happy to see pics of our little orphan Amy who must be feeling SO much better already!!!! I can't wait to see her in about 6 months when she'll really be healthy! But every day...what a change for her!

When will she be able to join the donkey herd?

And a :martini: for you and the dh..........you certainly deserve it after the day you've had!!!!!!!!!

Here's a really gross story. Right after I got Weezie the Devil Cat (I think the day after) she walked across me while I was sitting on the couch and I felt something on my arm. She had left a roundworm (I think that was the species) on my arm. I had to scrub my arm with bleach, literally after that. Miss Weezie had gotten dewormed at the shelter and I guess they were still coming out.

:rose: Sorry, Sanny. I know it's positively disgusting (and more are still appearing). This pitiful little baby had never been wormed in her 6 months of life before she got a small dose of Strongid a few weeks ago, so she is long overdue. I didn't expect to see the evidence, so I continue to be grossed out, but also terribly relieved that she is getting rid of these horrors and, hopefully, on the way to health. Each day she becomes more of a "normal" (ha ha, what's that?) donkey, making anticipation noises when it's time for her grain, eating her hay with some gusto, eager to go out in the yard, etc.

Onwego, just reading the story of your Weezie's "arm worm" practically sent me for the bleach! :jaw:
