Should I keep my cats separated if one has worms?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Yes, it is important to keep your cats separated after deworming because parasites can still be transmitted between cats, even with ongoing treatment. Some medications need days or even weeks to completely clear out the parasite from the cat's system.


Should you separate a cat with worms?

It would be best to keep your cats apart until the parasite-affected cat is completely clear of parasites. If you suspect your cat has worms, you should treat it right away because it can lead to serious medical problems and health problems if left untreated.

Can a cat with worms be around other cats?

Roundworms are free-living in the intestines. Roundworms do not require an intermediate host to spread from cat to cat, but can be transmitted by ingesting the eggs that are passed in the feces of an infected cat. Hookworms are one of the most significant intestinal parasites of the cat.

Can a cat with worms give another cat worms?

From Worm Eggs in the Environment If your cat accidentally eats these eggs while sniffing or licking the ground outside, they can develop a new roundworm infection. Cats can even become infected inside the house, if another pet or person has accidentally brought the roundworm eggs inside.

What to do if one of your cats has worms?

The best way to treat worms in cats is with deworming medication, to kill both the larvae and adult worms within your cat's intestines. In many cases, dewormers may be given in multiple doses to interrupt the life cycle of the intestinal parasite.
