How long does it take to get rid of worms on a cat?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Most dewormers will fall in line with those mentioned in this article, requiring an initial period of only 2-3 weeks to eliminate worms; however, some treatments will also require a second dosage to eradicate the second wave of parasites.


What to expect after deworming a cat?

Although side effects of dewormer medications are uncommon, some cats may have vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, or increased salivation. These symptoms, if occurred, are usually seen within 24 hours of taking the medication and should spontaneously resolve.

Why does my cat still have worms after being dewormed?

This can happen when the cat feasts on an animal infected with fleas or from self-grooming in response to flea bites on their own body. Once the eggs hatch, the tapeworm will latch onto the small intestine and continue to grow.

How many treatments does it take to get rid of worms in cats?

Since none of these treatments will kill the immature forms of the worm or the migrating larvae, at least two or three treatments are needed. Treatments are typically done at two to three week intervals. Ideally, kittens are dewormed with each visit for booster vaccinations.

How long does it take for dewormer to work?

A dewormer will start to work between two and six hours after administration. Deworming medications work in different ways, depending on the type you purchase. Some dewormers will dissolve the worms while others will paralyze them.
