Aa
my cat has worms! I need an answer fast
Ok i now i have to do something but my cocern is that they are HUGE i thought it was flat noodles she didnt chew well and through up, so my question is can the store bought meds work or is it more then i think and i have to take her to the vet imediatly i know worms can cause problems, i never had a cat who had it really bad i caught it at the beging every time but this cat we found and i thought she was pregnant but this morning she threw up and omg it was horrible her whole breakfeast lunch out plus what my mom thought were her intestant. i know this BAD but i want to make sure i get all of it not just part and have it start all over, btw my car isnt here till later this morning thats why im asking here first (thought id presis) thanks in advance
I have a total of 11 cats, and they give me the pill with out paying for the appt but the pill it self cost 4.10 and it treats all worms, i look for OTC and they dont do all worms just one type. So ill be going to the vet my mom got her pay so were going to pay half and the rest with the bill i already owe
thanks for clearing that up Nancy.....the only worm treatment I ever had to use if oral and I just buy the medication from my Vet.
I have never had to do the tapeworm treatment.
Therefore if an injection is needed you will need to take them all in at once. Can you set up a payment plan...most clinics will do this for you.
You should only need to pay for ONE appointment since they will all be there with you at the same time....one appointment but multiple injection costs.
How many cats do you have?

Round worms can cause serious problems. Tape worms typically don't. But typically OTC dewormers don't work for tape worms. Tapeworms are usually treated with a single injection. That is probably why the vet wants you to bring the other cats in. Opus is right though, you need to treat them all at the same time or they will just keeping passing them back and forth. If you can at least treat all of them at the same time for the roundworms with oral meds and then take them all in for the tapeworm injection at the same time (probably including the one you already took in if it is a long delay) that would at least prevent the problems round worms can cause.
yes you will need to do them all at once or the treated cat will pick them up again from the untreated cat and you'll have a never ending cycle.....
You don't have to take each one to the Vet either, just get the medication and give it yourself, costs a heck of alot to be bringing each one in for a separate appointment...I'm assuming this is in pill form???

so the vet says that its round and tape worms he gave me something that gets rid of all type and told me what to do for the rest but i sadly i have to wait to till i get some more money and then take all my animals im hopping ill get enough to do them all at once instead of one by one i dont really like that idea =) but im getting the problem solved so i know im on the right path to healthy pets
yes you will need to treat all your cats......your Vet will instruct you on this..and sell you what you need, if you don't treat them all they will just keep re- infesting one another, when they share a litter box, they will all have the worms...good luck and come back to tell us how the visit went..♥
ill also start cleaning the cat litter, and i was thinking on getting more de worming stuff for the rest of the animals, even if they dont have it it will be ok right?
ok thank you, I called the vet and im going to go once my dad get back with the car
take her to a Vet so you can be sure and get the right meds for the type of worm...also the Vets meds are much stronger, if you don't get a correct kill on the worms and eggs they will just recur....they aren't much different in price either..IMO.
good luck, follow all their directions to a T. and change all litter and wash out the box with hot soapy water now and again frequently for the next while....♥
