A. You can never completely eliminate worms, only control them, the wormers kill the adult worms but not the eggs, in a couple of weeks, the eggs hatch and the cycle begins again. Call the vet and ask if there is something you can get OTC. It is TAPEWORM! Rice-like segments in the stool or caught in the fur under the tail. They can get tapeworm not just from fleas but mice and raw meat! The eggs can be brought in on shoes! You need to go to the vet to get medication to treat it, typical wormers won't kill tapeworm.

How to administer this kitty medicine?
Q. I was at the vet today and didn't even think about the fact that I wasn't sure how to give this dewormer medicine I've got. And I would call the vet, but they're closed for another hour for lunch, so if I don't get an answer here within the hour I'll call, but just thought I'd check here first. The medicine is pyrantel pamoate dewormer and it's in a syringe with no needle. I'm assuming I put it in her mouth but figured I should double check.

A. yeah, either squirt it into her mouth and don't let her spit it out, or mix it into a small helping of her fave cat (or people) food when she's good and hungry

How long does it take for Droncit (dog dewormer) to work?
Q. This morning, I noticed tapeworms in my foster-puppy's stool. I got a couple of Droncit tabs from my vet and gave them to her this morning. How long should it take for the medication to start working? While I doubt the dead worms will come shooting wildly from her behind in a fantastic display of the medicine's effectiveness, I'd kinda like to know what to expect :D

A. The worms will die within hours.Don't expect to see them,though.Although some dogs will pass them in their stool,others absorb them and so you won't necessarily see any in the dogs stool.Make sure to treat the pup for fleas as well or she will just get the tapeworms back,as they are spread by fleas.Good luck and bless you for fostering the puppy.

Nexmex dewormer - do you know how long it takes for your puppy to feel better after giving them the dewormer?
Q. medicine and if they should have any side effects with this medicine.
Asked by T M - Thu May 28 22:35:14 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Pyrantle Pamoate is an extremely safe dewormer. When overdosed, it generally just causes the animal to vomit. You may see parasites passed in feces in a matter of hours after dosing or even 24 hours later. As for "feeling better", it depends on what parasites your pup has, whether this is the appropriate dewormer and what health problems the parasites have caused (just competing for nutrients, anemia, GI irritation, etc).

Why is the kitty stinky like dead?
Q. Two nights ago we were driving home and had to stop in the middle of the road, because a little kitten was just sitting there in traffic. It made no attempt to flee from the cars, or from me when I got out and picked it up. The cat was riddled with flees, malnourished and bloated, and smelt like a dead animal in a garbage can. We went and bought some kitten flea medicine, dewormer, and soft cat food, and now the fleas are getting under control, her belly is no longer swollen, she is eating well, and has had two baths. However the stench of kitty has hardly diminished. Why does the kitty stink like a dead trash golem?

A. It's only been 2 nights, the kitten probably was full of worms. Takes time before the wormer kills all (may need a repeat in few wks. too), therefore the little kitty is probably having very raunchy-smelling poopies and gas-galore,... I'm sure she's got a terrible tummy ache associated with all that's going on internally. Plus she probably doesn't know how to groom herself, especially while feel ill. The stench is prob. from her rotten stool and gas-passing. BTW, you are wonderful to have rescued the defenseless baby cat,... more people should be like you!

A. It's a poison that kills the worms. They then should be flushed out by his system- That is why if an animal is infested with worms (Usually a rescue case) they gradually kill the worms off by using lower doses, because to kill them all at once in a highly infested animal can and does result in the dead worms blocking up the intestine or something else and killing the animal. That's probably a loading dose- with cats and dogs, most people de-worm them when they see signs they have worms, but with animals like horses, you should deworm them every 3 or 4 months. Talk to your vet if you have concerns.

The only thing I would recom. to do make sure you are very diligent in cleaning up her stools in the yard (where ever she defecates) to prevent re-infestation of the worms. Puppies carry many worms and are also known for eating stools when they are young. She can re-infest herself by eating the stools so make sure you are cleaning up the stools immediately after she defecates.

Does my kitten need to go to the vet?
Q. I have a 3 month old tiger kitten. He has had all of his first round shots and dewormer medicine, I just took him to the vet 2 weeks ago. Lately he has been sleeping a lot more than usual, and not very interested in playing with his toys. This seems off for him, because usually he is basically attacking me for attention.

A. Firstly, up the grade of food, that should increase his energy, something like Wellness or EVO. THen if no improvement, off to the vet.

Q. I have a 3 month old tiger kitten. He has had all of his first round shots and dewormer medicine, I just took him to the vet 2 weeks ago. Lately he has been sleeping a lot more than usual, and not very interested in playing with his toys. This seems off for him, because usually he is basically attacking me for attention.

Puppy after deworming medicine?
Q. So my puppy had worms/parassites in her tummy and we went to the vet and he gave her dewormer for 5 days, today is christmas and I wont be back in town until monday, she sleeps a lot a has gone back to having diarhea and hardly eating. Not sure what to do, keeping her hydrated, and trying to give her a tab of honey for her sugar not to go down. So any advice would be helpful. Called the vet and all the stinking advice they gave me was, bring her in. How can i bring her in when Im out of town? So no rude comments. She's lost a bit of weight too, but i thought she was just trying to clear up her tummy. So anyone who has had this problem, just advice would be appreciated. Tried soft food, and she just turns her nose on it.

After deworming my cat how long until her "pot belly" goes away?
Q. It's a long story but my husband brought home a stray cat. It is a very nice cat who he has had a lot of contact with because he is the police officer of our small town. He took her in because people were complaining and he thought she was pregnant. We already have 3 cats. So before he brought her home he took her to the town Vet Clinic and she was given her shots/dewormer/flea medicine and a look over. The Vet said she was probably pregnant and if so about 4 weeks along. He said he couldn't be for sure though without doing a sonogram. My husband didn't want to pay for that as well since all this was coming from our pockets. We've had her for 2 months now and she never had any kittens. We talked to the Vet and he said she probably absorbed… [cont.]

A. Profender takes longer to work than the oral dewormers, so it's not an overnight fix. One thing you need to do though is to disinfect all of the litter boxes, because they are a source of worms that can continually reinfect the cats while you're trying to kill the worms. Dump the boxes, clean them with bleach, and refill with fresh clean litter. This will get rid of any live worms and eggs "hiding" in the box. If her belly doesn't go down in another week or so, then I'd call the vet and ask for suggestions.

Puppy De-wormer and heart de-wormer used at the same time?
Q. Okay so heres the deal. I have an 8 week old great dane puppy. He's been on heart worm medicine since he was born because the mother tested postitive for heart worms. earlier today i noticed there was a small white worm in his poop. he doesn't have worms hanging out of his butt and the worm was not alive. i'm told this is NOT the heart worms coming out. this is an intestinal worm. My vet is not open on weekends. so my question is this. they have OTC de-wormer for puppies. as long as the pup is over 6 weeks it can be used. but is it safe to be giving my puppy both heart dewormer and regular dewormer at the same time? i need to correct myself. he is on heartworm preventative medication. to be on the safe side that the heart worms weren't… [cont.]

A. What brand of heartworm preventative is he on? A lot of them also control roundworms and other parasites...even tapeworms - depending on the active ingredients. Read the label for information. It is important to know what kind of worm you need to treat for, so if possible take the worm you found along with a stool sample to the vet for identification and proper treatment. I wouldn't panic...it can wait until monday.
