If your cat has tapeworms, treat them with a dewormer and quarantine them for a few days.
Should I isolate my cat after deworming?
All types of worms are highly contagious, and tapeworms are one of the most common intestinal parasites in cats. As their eggs are found in an infected cat's feces, they need to be kept in isolation until the deworming medication passes all the eggs and worms from their bodies.
How long after deworming are cats contagious?
What is this? In most cases, cats will be worm-free three days after you have administered their dewormer medication if they are not reinfected after this point. However, this does depend on the severity of the infection.
Are cats still contagious after deworming?
After deworming, keep your cats apart because parasites can still be spread between cats, even if they are being treated. Some treatments take days, if not weeks, to completely eliminate the parasite from the cat's system.
Do you have to isolate a cat with worms?
If your cat does happen to have worms, keep him in isolation until cured. If you own multiple cats or pets, doing so keeps the chances low of infecting your other animals.
