I wasn't positive whether or not this cat had a home. He wasn't neutered, he had fleas, but he was pretty friendly with people. #1) I didn't want to take him away from a family IF he did have a home, #2) it was Thanksgiving long weekend. There was only so much I could do with the time I had there.

just to clarify for those that had the same question as i did. fleas do not turn into tapeworms directly. they are an intermediate host for tapeworms, thus when ingested the tapeworm eggs inside the fleas can proliferate

I had no idea. I'm a wildlife rehabilitator. It clicked because a similar thing occurs when a wild bird, for example a robin, eats earthworms. The earthworm may host syngamus worms inside it (we nickname them gapeworms). When the bird swallows the earthworm, the syngamus worm works its way back up the throat and then down into the respiratory system, where it reproduces until they impair breathing, and the secondary infections they can cause, kill the bird. It's easy to treat. You've humbled me, Vanessa. This is exciting, to learn something new! :)

@patrickcorcoran482810 ай бұрын
I had no idea either despite years volunteering at a shelter. The way the channel put it, "When fleas are ingested they turn into tape worms..." is incorrect and I was surprised that they put that out, but I googled it and old CDC diagrams are mislabeled with that exact wording. Newer diagrams have the correct wording that adult fleas harbor tape worm cysticercoids, which are one of the intermediate life stages between a tape worm eggs and adult tape worms.
@acustomer721610 ай бұрын
Yes , those cysticercoids look like grains of rice. Sometime you can see them on kitty's butt fur. Vet check up will catch it with a stool sample
@bjones219410 ай бұрын
Tapeworms are parasites.. they do not share a symbiotic life with ANY pet(or human). Edit: Wanting to add just in case that symbiotic means beneficial to both parties or organisms. Like sharks and the little sucker fish that follow them around. Parasites, like fleas, ticks, lice, tapeworms, etc, need a host organism for their own gain and survival. Tapeworms can literally kill their hosts, humans and animals alike.

I'm not sure about Florida, but lots of rural areas are facing a crisis right now because shelters are overflowing with cats and dogs. One nearby shelter went into Code Red status multiple times last year and once so far this year. Code Red means if they don't start adopting or finding foster homes soon the they'll have to start euthanizing again. And I'm not 100% sure, but I think I remember reading that the shelter will not take in new animals right away if they are in Code Red status. The shelter said the biggest issue is a lack of low-cost spay/neuter clinics in the area. Luckily, the county is in the process of getting one built now. However, even if you can afford to take your pet to the vet, many vets are so booked up it can take months to get one animal spayed/neutered. So hopefully the clinic will help.
