Today (and only today) I noticed some small white worms in Frank's poop, which otherwise looked normal. I didn't take a picture, which was stupid of me, but this picture is pretty much what they looked like: http://www.rabbitsonline.net/gallery/14476/14476_181641_090000000.jpg I've read that these are likely pinworms.
There weren't many, maybe only like 3 of them in there, and today is the first day I've seen them in his poop. I'm pretty sure I would've noticed if they were there before, maybe I didn't, but I would think.
Should I get him to the vet immediately or anything? I'm rather short on money right now, so if I can avoid a vet visit, I'd like to. Is there anything I can give him over-the-counter or by home remedy? If he needs to go to the vet, though, I'll manage. Thanks
Edit: I feel like I should mention that Frank seems totally healthy otherwise...no lethargy or lack of appetite as of late. The only thing that's a symptom of pinworms that he might have is weight loss, though I don't think he's lost weight, he's just skinny. I got him that way and he has yet to put on weight.
