Tapeworm?

    I do flea treat them every three months with the droppers you put on back of their neck. The female does not catch anything, she just watches them. Charlie is a male and always brings back mice and leaves the head and legs and tail. Also noticed today the grains of rice looking segments, so its tapeworm. And I still feel sick from seeing him throw the mass up.

    I will get drontal and treat them both.

    Good stuff. You should be able to get Drontal from your vet. Might be quicker than waiting for an online delivery at this time of year ;)

    I do all of mine regularly and haven't seen any signs of worms for years. I would rather prevent than cure, particularly as each tablet costs less than £2 ;) Getting the cats to take the tablets? That is an entirely different subject - and I have the scars to prove it :rotfl:
  • Always best to also let the vet have a look, mine looked up what would be best given the weight of the cat (have x1 whopper).
    I'm using Drontal and stronghold, they treat different worms - lovely the bits of knowledge you pick up from having a cat!
