Cat with worms that won't go away.

RE: Cat with worms that won't go away. Post By jackie (Guest Post) (09/20/2008) My cats get worms like every couple months and it's awful. But I found out that cats don't get tapeworms just from eating fleas, they also get worms from eating flies too. There is not much you can do about them eating flies but make sure the flies don't get in the house. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cat with worms that won't go away. Post By Melissa (Guest Post) (02/23/2007) I also have a cat with persistant worm issues and the vet persciptions only seemed to cause more problems such as a urinariy tract infection. I feed my baby garlic for a while with really no change.(he didn't have fleas) Then I read about a raw diet, so I fed him a tukey neck uncooked the next day he passed about a 3 inch long worm. Zeek is 2 years old and has had worms all his life this the best thing I have found to date. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cat with worms that won't go away.

Post By Warren (Guest Post) (01/24/2005) Has anybody else had positive results with using the Garlic powder as recomended by Linne Dodds. My cat has the same problem (just discovered it 1 hour ago). The cat has been dewormed on 12-30-04, had a fecal test on 1-8-05 and passed negitive for all parisites (so I was told) and now I just found worms! My cat is indoor only and does not have fleas. So what gives? Anyhow I don't trust vets Period! I took him to the vet (1-8-05)and now I have all of these new problems (forgot to mention he also got sick) I did not have before. So there has to be a non-vet over the counter solution! Please post these types of solutions. Like I said I'm curious about the garlic thing. I can not risk taking my cat to a vet after just spending money and time getting his cold under control after the last visit. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cat with worms that won't go away. Post By Vickie (Guest Post) (07/19/2004) It sounds to me like your cat has tapeworms. When tapeworms dry...the look just like a piece of rice. You can not buy over the counter medication for this. You will have to go to the vet. Plus you can get a good liquid wormer from your vet for any other worms....that you can give to the cat yourself. Good luck!

Do this for several days,just a little shake or a bit of dried minced garlic that comes in a bottle . I had a cat who was obviously dying of worms & I couldn't afford a vet . My neighbor said to use the garlic . A few days later he pooped out a load of awful worms & went on to live a good long life . I use the stuff on my dogs too . One of my dogs had the same trouble & the same thing worked . Garlic powder is 50 cents at many $stores ,it could turn out to be the best 50 cents you ever spent . I know I felt that way when my animals got better & it's great for cooking too . I have to repeat,don't use much,just a little shake in his meals. & a funny thing happened today. I got some cat vitamin spray at Super Walmart & on the label it said Fortified with Garlic & Cranberry . The cranberry helps with their Urinary troubles . I just smear cranberry sauce on my animals when it looks like they're having that kind of trouble. They lick it off. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cat with worms that won't go away. Post by ThriftyFun (3731) | (07/19/2004) Profile | Blog! | Contact For the lady whose cat has worms, it sounds like tapeworms and no over the counter medicine is available for those. If you have a pet clinic that specializes in low cost spays/shots they will give your cat a shot and it works really fast! Otherwise the meds are kind of expensive. I just went through this with my cat! Good luck -Anonymous Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cat with worms that won't go away. Post By (Guest Post) (07/19/2004) I agree take the kitty to the vet. Some over the counter medications have caused seizures and killed some cats. Your furry friends are too precious. Take them to the vet. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cat with worms that won't go away. Post By Theola Johnson (Guest Post) (07/19/2004) take some of his stool to the vet and he will give you the right kind of pill for his type of worms.Turn the plastic zip lock bag inside out grab the stool close the bag and take to the Vet. He will also ask you how much the cat weighs.Don't mess with over the counter worm products it is just a waste of money, and wont get rid of the worms.

He will lick it right off! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cat with worms that won't go away. Post By Erricka (Guest Post) (07/19/2004) I think that you should take your cat to the vet because that would save alot of time and worry for everyone. They will be able to tell you exactly what is wrong with your cat and what needs to be done and plus when you find out what is wrong you can look online for remedies for the problem and if it needs medicine you can buy medicine online alot cheaper than from the vet.

If they are small and white like a piece of rice, it's tapeworm. You'll need to go to the vet for a prescription to get rid of it. Good luck to you and kitty!

They had fleas that they were eating (was in the process of nursing them back to health), the fleas were causing the worms. Check to see if your cat has fleas. Report Spam or Abuse
