Ok I just picked up Ramses' fecal results and meds...
His test said the following:
The number of eggs or parasites is the number on the entire slide (not per field)
Parasite #1: Oxyurid (pinworm) eggs 1+
1+ = 2 to 4 eggs or parasites (few)
2+ = 5 to 10 (small)
3+ = 11 to 50 (moderate)
4+ = more than 50 (many)
So it appears he only has a few pinworms. Is this even worth treating? The doctor prescribed .05ml of Strongid one day, then another dose in 2 weeks.
Does that sound normal? Any side effects from Strongid?
