What kind of worms are they?? > My cat is 5 years old and very active ,outside lots but now inside most of > the winter.She has been getting worms every 3 months like clock work.When > I see them I treat them with pills from the vet ,one dose pills.Is there > anything else that helps for longer.Why does she keep getting worms?She is > not eating mice now. Why do you think she's not eating mice? Cause its winter and she's inside? where do you think the mice go in the winter? Deworming pills work on the worms in the cat at the time. The only preventative measures is to keep the cat from eating items that have worms (not easy if they are hunters) and keeping them from eating fleas (which carry the worm eggs) Just deworm every three months. Expensive but easy. >> My cat is 5 years old and very active ,outside lots but now inside most of >> the winter.She has been getting worms every 3 months like clock work.When [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > >Just deworm every three months. Expensive but easy. Another thing I found out the hard way is raw pork (Bacon) can cause worms. Was backing bacon one morning and the cats took a piece when I was not looking. They loved it but a few days later I found round worms in stool. My three cats are 100% indoors. When I took them in for their annual check, the vet informed me, much to my surprise, that two had worms. How could such a thing be possible, I wondered. I have no other pets. The vet informed me that they may have gotten worms from eating insects, especially moths. Yup, the two who had worms love chasing moths that get in the house.

They can pick up worm eggs from the grass and we can bring them inside on our shoes which is why indoor cats sometimes get them too. > My cat is 5 years old and very active ,outside lots but now inside most of > the winter.She has been getting worms every 3 months like clock work.When > I see them I treat them with pills from the vet ,one dose pills.Is there > anything else that helps for longer.Why does she keep getting worms?She is > not eating mice now. New here got 4 Burmese and 1 Siamese all of whom get worms. It really is not much of a problem to the cats in the short term. Locally here in the UK the supermarkets are now stocking one of those three drops on the neck stuff. Seems to work , not expensive and saves the shredded finger thingy you get by trying to administer pills by hand.
