Worms are parasites that many cats pick up, and if treatment is not started on time, they can cause serious harm to the animal. Below are some recommendations regarding methods of getting rid of some types of worms at home.
Instructions
Step 1
Isolate your infected cat from other pets in your home.
Step 2
Many cat owners notice worms in the litter box. Identify the type of worm. For example, roundworms look like thin spaghetti, while tapeworms look like rice.
Step 3
Tapeworms appear in an animal's body when it swallows a flea that is infected with tapeworm. If you notice fleas in your cat, then it is very likely that she also has worms.
Step 4
Examine the cat for other signs of worms. Only tapeworms and roundworms can be seen with the naked eye. Other signs of worms are weight loss, bloody diarrhea, vomiting, and bloating.
Step 5
Since roundworms are more common, many owners give their animals a special medicine once a month, in the form of a syrup.
Step 6
Use worm pills that get rid of tapeworms, roundworms, and hookworms. Crush the tablet and stir the powder into the food.
Step 7
Nematodes are bloodsuckers, from which the animal can die. It is difficult to recognize them at home, but if the animal has such signs as bloody diarrhea, anemia, weakness, then immediately go with him to the veterinarian.
Step 8
There are also pastes for worms. They are effective against all types of worms. The paste can be injected directly into the animal's mouth or mixed with food.
Step 9
Use wormwood extract. It is suitable for treating both tapeworms and roundworms and nematodes. Add it to your cat's food 2-3 times a day.
