My cat has worms! Need help!!!

MandyMat

3 weeks ago I noticed that my cat has alive warms when she goes to the toilet. They were while and really yucky. I was really scared but couldn't go to the vet cause of the coronavirus. Bought some pills for her and for me.They escaped but not they are back again! I bought the other pills which have a broader spectrum but I'm afraid that they won't help. Maybe a special diet is needed...or I don't know. What would you recommend?

So you wormed the cat 3 weeks ago. The worms died? "escaped" but now you have found more?  Some info on link below:

Call your Vet, they will be able to advise over the phone.

Vets will post out worming tablets to you.

You need to know which type of worms,if they look like grains of rice it is tapeworm and your cat will need a flea treatment as
well. Roundworms look like small grey/white garden worms. As suggested phone your local vet and they will post out the correct treatment. You should be worming your cat regularly and your vet can advise you.

Yeah, you are right, I have to call the vet, it's be best decision.

No other suggestes except once you have pills from vet you can probably order cheaper online for the future - unless POM.
Your cat will be more prone to get worms if she regularly picks up birds, mice, dead things! (That's why one of my dogs gets worms!)
