Cat Forum / General Topics / November 2003Cats and worms question
When I came home last evening I found a spot where one of my babies had bought up some long (About 2 inches) small, round worms. Anyone have any idea what type they are and what would cause them? My babies were dewormed by Dr. Tinia, their vet, this summer for worms. I kept them in a baggie and I have to go to the vet's office today so I figured I would take them and see about getting some worm meds for all 4 of my babies but was wondering if anyone had any ideas before I go to vets this PM TIA http://www.ameritech.net/users/lestark/my-babies.htm they are round worms.. :) nice name hun? deworming medication can not get all types of worms.. there are many.. round worms, flat worms, tape worms, along with many other different types of parasites. She probably used nemex or strongid (same stuff different name) which doesn't get round worms. Now that she's older she'll probably get drontal.. Don't worry.. worms don't hurt the host for the most part.. unless of course they are left untreated. > When I came home last evening I found a spot where one of my babies > had bought up some long (About 2 inches) small, round worms.

It's always a good idea to be extra cautious. Finding the right preventative medication may be the best solution. Here's some info on Revolution: Hope this helps, Melanie REVOLUTION Revolution is a topical medication applied to the skin.
