Mostly herbivores get cestodes like tapeworms from eating vegetation contaminated with eggs or proglottis ...Maybe: cow poopies on collards ...collards go to market fresh as can be...collards bought by humonz and not washed as great as they should and bingo.
Tapeworms can live for a couple of years in hindgut/intestinal tract if I remember right.
Good thing he's getting medicated for it. Expect his appetite not to be that great for awhile. Its been suggested that igs get fecal floats done 2xs a year.
