Noodle Like Thing Coming From Baby's Bum, Family Cat Has Worms. If The Baby Has Worms Can It Be Detected Through Stool Sample?
About three weeks ago I was changing my babys pamper before bed. She didnt have a stool or anything, I was just freshing her up for bed. My family cat had the worms tapeworms and roundworms. I know that worms spread and how they spread. Anyhow when I was changing my baby I checked her bottom and there in her bum was something that resembled a noodle, it looked more round than flat but it was small on the round. It was the length of my little finger give or take. I took her to the clinic and the nurse said it didnt look like a worm. She sent the THING lol away and it came back 0 worms found. This is what bothers me. Ive never heard of noodles coming from your bum. So I got them to do a stool sample. They took to samples. If my baby has worms can they tell from a stool sample? If not what can I suggest they do next.
hi.
You can tell them to try cutting the worm and examine stool for ova of worms.
Given your histiry of pet having worms… may be that thing u saw was surely a worm…
Worms can't be easily broken by stretching and when you cuctt them you find its body like a tube… that would confirm the worm.
Stool test can come normal if not taken seriously…
If you see thread like… its thread worm and if u see noodle lijke; it is like round worm… remember worms don't get broken easily.
