Recently I have found a worm on my cats butt area. I've never had this problem before with pets. How do I know when it's a big problem and what would be the best medicine for her?
If you are finding any worms on Coco's hind end, now is the time to treat! Some of the more common worms that are found include roundworms (which resemble spaghetti) and tapeworms (which resemble grains of rice). Prescription dewormers, such as Drontal Plus or Profender, tend to work best for both of these parasites in my experience. There are many other over the counter dewormers that can treat roundworms well, but few that are successful for treating tapeworms. Call your vet if you are concerned about tapeworms to better discuss deworming options.

Hello. I’ve tried on three occasions to administer oral medication to my cats for worms and they kick, bite, scratch, and spit out the medicine. Are there any alternatives to a syringe applied medication for roundworm?
Yes, there are topicals you can use: Profender and Revolution are two that come to mind straight away. ( https://www.allivet.com/p-3497-profender-for-cats.aspx ) ( https://www.allivet.com/p-1902-revolution-for-cats.aspx )

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

Hello I have had a kitten for about 1 months n he is aprx 5 mos he just threw up worms can I give him 1 medicine to kill all worms or is it multiple meds
hi, There are deworming products (antihelmintics) which are effective for more than one type and save you from multiple meds. Profender is a very good wide range product that easy to apply as it is a spot on. Drontal cat / Milbemax kitten are a tablet form. All those examples are meds that should be given in a correct dose according to weight and age please obtain the necessary medication from your veterinarian. You should never try to medicate with over-the-counter dewormers without checking first with your veterinarian, especially with kittens.

I have just used the advocate flea, heartworm and worm treatment on my cat. But I think he actually has worms now. Can I use the profender all wormer at the same time? I keep finding these small white ish things coming off him and have seen them arou
Advocate does not treat for these specific type of worms- tapeworms. And tapeworms come from your pet either ingesting an infected flea or eating another pets poop that has tapeworms in it. You can give the profender a minimum of 2 after giving another topical flea preventative, since it is an intestinal worm treatment only. So if it has been at least 2 full days now, you can go ahead and apply the Profender and its best to keep Morph on Advocate monthly to prevent re-infection. I hope that you resolve your flea problem soon! Best wishes and take care. : )
