Hi I don't post too much, but read a lot. love this forum, thanks so much for all the help and advise that you have unknowingly given me 
Here's my question, I got my 8 month old seal bicolor raggie about a month or so ago. I was supposed to get my 6 month old seal mitted lynx at the same time, however I was told he had raspy breathing and would have to be on antibiotics for 10 days, then he could come home. THEN after 10 days, he had an allergic reaction to a vaccine and his eyes got read and swollen. ok so then I had to wait another week. He got the ok to fly home. He ended up getting stuck at DFW all day, anyway by the time I got him he was raspy and and his eyes, particularily the right one was all red and swollen. I took him to the vet ASAP. He is on eye stuff, ear stuff, and antibiotics. I have now had him about two weeks and he is just now starting to look better, but his eye is still squinty looking and red around the rims. and today I saw a tape worm by his butt!!!! I have tried to keep the cats apart, but they have been together. Will my 8 month old get sick too? and what about the worms? Are they dangerous for my kids. The kitty has been sleeping with my 8 year old daughter. We love this little guy. He is very sweet and cute. Should I consider giving him back bf I fall completely in love and get another kitty? I dont want to have a sickly kitty. Does this all sound normal? sorry so long, any comment is appreciated I have tried to post pics but when I hit add attachment, it's not there
