Any Q

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.


Can I deworm my cat myself?

There's truly no home remedy to treat worms in cats. Worms, which include both intestinal and lung parasites, can be treated at home but only using medications prescribed by your vet. If you suspect your cat might have worms, take him in for an examination as soon as possible.

What does it mean when a cat has worms in their poop?

Cats can get roundworms by eating wild animals as well as from feces or a contaminated environment. Most cats are infected with roundworms at some point in their life. They often show no symptoms. If your cat suffers weight loss, dull hair, and a potbellied appearance, it may have a major roundworm infection.
