I just recently received a WC female Ambanja and noticed WORMS Oh no...lol. Anyways, just some pics of removing worms.
With Worms:
The worms:
Hanging out with only one worm:
And I had a feeling there were more...and there were:
I think I got them all out no prob. She didn't even know I took her out of the cage. Here she is after the 5 minute surgery:
Ok some of my thoughts. I work with WC all the time and see worms and other strange issues pretty often. I know that many times we hear the word filarial worm thrown out all the time when we see worms that are sub-Q. Well from what I have seen these worms are the exact same that I have seen after necropsies of animals that have died from worms normally in what I think is their stomach. The only difference is the worms in the stomach are a little larger and green (still very transparent but the green is whatever they have consumed). I feel that is because the ample supply of nutrients in the digestive tract. I think these are the same worms that are in the GI tract that somehow moved into the skin where there isn't as much nutrients so they are smaller. Ohh yea, and I think this girl has some internal worms mainly because her stomach isn't small yet her head caps are super thin. Just thinking out loud.
