my cat is a year old and he has tape worms . hes throwing up his food and losing fur . how can i help him ? i can only buy him medicine from stores like petco and petsmart . do u know what i should buy or get for him ? pls help
In order to feworm him and also hit tape worm you will need a wormer for cats with the ingredient of "Praziquantel". Tape worm are transmitted by fleas, so you will also need to do flea control. Unfortunately fleas only hop on the body of your pet when they want to feed, then they hop off again and stay in your pet's environment. So you need to treat all pets in the household as well as the environment (which contains the fleas, their eggs and larvae). Flea treatment: 1) Get some flea medication such as a Flea spray or a spot on from a pet shop or your veterinarian and apply monthly 2) get flea powder, put some in your vacuum cleaner bag and vacuum your house and furniture and also non-carpeted areas frequently to remove flea larvae and eggs which live off house dust., Dispose of the bag in the trash outside. Hot-wash all the pet's bedding, If you do this diligently for a few months you will get rid of the fleas. Flea products: Spot-ons and/or chews Advantage, Advantage Multi Frontli

My cat is taking dewormer and when she had a bowel movement this morning, I saw these worms in her poop. I attached a picture. What type of worm is it? I want to make sure the dewormer I'm giving her will get rid of it. The wormer is pyrantel pamoate
From the picture these look to be tapeworm segments. Often you will see them dried on the rear end too. Pyrantel is a great broad spectrum dewormer, but it doesn’t kill tapeworm. Droncit ( praziquantel) kills tapeworm. I always recommend a full fecal exam looking for microscopic eggs as animals who have parasites often have more than one kind. Tapeworm can cause gastrointestinal signs if she has a high enough worm burden. Best of luck and I hope she improves soon! Thank you for using Pet Coach.

My Collie mix dog, has a Multi-Drug Resistance Gene. (Mrd1*) She has always taken Droncit, 50 mg. (3 pills), for Tapeworms. I have a new Vet now, and he suggested giving her Droncit by Injection, if she reacts to the Dolpac 10 he wants to try her
None of these medications should cause problems related to Tasha's MDR1 gene. Personally, I prefer giving oral deworming medications rather than injections, but as I said, this is purely personal preference. Either Droncit or Dolpac 10 should be effective to treat tapeworms and it should not be an issue to administer the additional active ingredients in Dolpac 10. Many deworming medications contain more than one active ingredient and simply provide for a more broad spectrum of treatment. If Tasha would experience a reaction to the Dolpac 10 (which would be quite unusual), you could also ask your vet if he can prescribe Droncit tablets from either a local or online pharmacy if you are more comfortable with this course of treatment.

Hi, my dog (30kg) has worms and I gave him Droncit (from vet practice). However I now think he actually has roundworm which droncit does not kill. Can I use another tablet such as nitroscanate to cover all bases? How long should I waiting before givi
I would wait one week before giving the nitroscanate since it also contains a medication to treat tapeworms (as does the Droncit). If you can give a different dewormer that does not contain a tapeworm medication (like Drontal - not Drontal Plus) then you can give it now.

does drontal for cats kill whipworms in cats?
It is not listed to kill whipworm in cats, only tapeworms, hookworms, and roundworms. Your veterinarian can dispense Panacur (fenbendazole) to treat whipworm infection if indicated. Drontal plus will kill the above mentioned parasites as well as whipworm.
