Ahh! Worms!? :(
OMG
I just found a WORM, about 1 inch long, white... crawling out of my white throats MOUTH. I was dry heaving as I went in with gloves and picked it out of her mouth. I'm so paranoid and grossed out right now, I'm starting my online research and ready on the phone for a vet call. I've done a fecal examination about 2 months back when I got her, but havn't really scoped out any poops since. She seems fine, I feel terrible for her and want to help her right away...
I'm so grossed out I'm afraid to hold her. Can anyone help me? What should I do?

Fecal Examination
It looks identicle to the one on the feces, beside the "Dosages for Nematodes" heading.
I could get a picture, I put it in a jar but I'm so grossed out by it.

Re: Ahh! Worms!? :(
id take her to the vet to get some dewormer...where there is one, you can bet there are more. They used Safe-Guard Dewormer for my emerald, and it worked great. Good luck with your girl

She'll be okay, I promise! I'm sure she doesn't even realize that they are in there...lol
Most monitors are pretty laid back and unaware of that sort of thing, anyway. lol
She'll be just fine.  Be sure to keep us updated!
