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 Dewormer Medicine to get rid of Diarrhea?
Q. My 8 Month Old Male Cat has had diarrhea for the last 24 hours. Last night I noticed some bright red blood in the diarrhea, and after reading about it online came to the conclusion that he has worms. I gave him dewormer about twelve hours ago, and he still has diarrhea! (as of eight this morning) How long should it take for this to stop? He is still eating and drinking normally, and does not appear to be dehydrated. (playing and acting normally.) I did call his vet and they said give it another 24 hours.. then bring him in. Should the diarrhea be gone by then? He is tracking it all over my HOUSE! and requires constant supervision!!! HELP!!

A. Find a new vet and take him in. You don't know if he has worms, you basically read some stuff online and guessed. A dewormer isn't going to fix diarrhea anyways, just fixes worms. This could be any number of problems from just having eatne soemthing bad to a serious medical condition. Take him to a vet pronto.

19 week old puppy. What shots, dewormer, and flea medicine will work?
Q. We have a 19 week old puppy that we just got. He has never had shots, was dewormed a week ago, and is covered in fleas. I do not glue the money to take him to the vet so i I was wondering what kind of products I should get at WALMART or TARGET. I tried hartz flea collar and flea drops but it did not work. I sprayed the house with flea killer and i bathe him in flea shampoo. What do i do about his shots. He has never had them at all. I need to know how often to do the shots and the Dewormer at his age.

How long does it take cat dewormer for tape worm to work?
Q. My cat has tape worm, and I gave her the medicine for it, but I don't know how long it will take to work.
Asked by BamaJen - Sat Feb 16 17:06:26 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Depends on what you gave her - if you got it from the vet, it will work. Anything you got over-the-counter was most likely a waste of money. Usually worms of any kind need more than one treatment, given 14 days apart. Sometimes it takes three treatments before they are all gone, if it's a severe case. If she has tapeworms, she most likely has fleas as well (that's one way they are spread), so she should be treated for that. It's also best to toss the litter that's in her box, and bleach it, to kill any parasites that are in the box and/or litter, or she'll just reinfect herself.

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!

Can I buy dewormer online?
Q. Since everyone says dewormers sold at Petsmart can kill my kittens, can I buy something online? Nearest vet is 2 hours away and my kittens get car sick... and they always overcharge me... How about DRONTAL (for cats)... "The only broad-spectrum dewormer with the convenience of one dose administration for cats. Drontal contains praziquantel/pyrantel pamoate/febentel. Indicated for removal of tapeworms, hookworms, roundworms, and whipworms." 50 tabs $157 It says no prescription required, even though DRONTAL for dogs is require. So is this medicine effective? If they only have tapeworms, would this medicine hurt them if they don't have the other worms listed? And one of my kittens continues to have loose stools (not completely diarrhea)… [cont.]

About deworming my dog and about how long it takes?

The last one he had to do was Sunday of last week, but just now he had an accident and it had these short fat worms moving around in his feces. Do you think he'll need more dewormer? He goes for booster shots Friday, so I'll ask them to check again, but could the medicine not have worked? Or is it soon to tell?

A. Sounds like tapeworm which is NOT taken care of in a regular dewormer. You need to go to the vet for the "other stuff." Dewormer for tapeworm takes about 24 hours to get it all. Dewormer for everything else takes two doses 10-14 days apart. The first one will kill all the adults within 24 hours and the second will take care of the egg that had not hatched yet.

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.

Does my puppy still have worms?
Q. We gave her dewormer and she pooped out adult worms for 3 or 4 days but then worms quit coming out. Originally she only got about half of the dewormer medicine so yesterday the vet gave me another dose. I gave it to her last night but still no worms coming out. Is it possible that they are gone that quickly or is the dewormer just not working? Ok, She is still not pooping out worms after receiving the second dose (days ago). She wasn't putting on weight and still has the pot belly look. We rescued her so we got her very young (now almost 6-61/2 weeks). We started mixing esibilac with her food (per vet's instructions). Could her lack of weight gain be due to her young age?

A. Worming your dog is going to be something you will have to deal with through out your dogs life. I worm mine on a regular basis because we attend shows, obedience classes, take them on walks and generally take them all over. Here is a link for you to explain how dogs get worms ect. If you would like some info on what wormers to buy ect feel free to email me and ask questions. I can worm all 7 of my german shepherds 10x's for $13.99. Vets could certinly sell the meds cheaper but they don't since they can make a bundle off of people!

Q. We gave her dewormer and she pooped out adult worms for 3 or 4 days but then worms quit coming out. Originally she only got about half of the dewormer medicine so yesterday the vet gave me another dose. I gave it to her last night but still no worms coming out. Is it possible that they are gone that quickly or is the dewormer just not working? Ok, She is still not pooping out worms after receiving the second dose (days ago). She wasn't putting on weight and still has the pot belly look. We rescued her so we got her very young (now almost 6-61/2 weeks). We started mixing esibilac with her food (per vet's instructions). Could her lack of weight gain be due to her young age?

A. Worming your dog is going to be something you will have to deal with through out your dogs life. I worm mine on a regular basis because we attend shows, obedience classes, take them on walks and generally take them all over. Here is a link for you to explain how dogs get worms ect.

Q. i bought a 10 wk old puppy friday night and the papers they gave me with the puppy said she had her first shots well saturday morning i noticed yellowish little eggs kinda looking thing under my puppy i wasnt sure if they were eggs, worms or what. so i tried taking my puppy to the vet but they were closed. so i called the vet were she got her shots (which is way out of my area) and they said they didnt deworm her there. well like at 10:00 pm my puppy pooped with worms all over it so i went to go buy a dewormer and i gave her a teaspoon like it said. well now im thinking what if she already got a dewormer by her original owners and thats why the worms are coming out and if thats the case is it dangerous that i gave her more dewormer… [cont.]

A. If you aren't giving the correct dewormer for what type of worms these are then it doesn't matter much. Your pup could have more than one kind of worm in her intestines as well. Call the breeder you bought this pup from and ask if she's been dewormed. Store brand dewormers rarely work anyway. Take the pup into your vet when they open Monday and take a fresh stool sample in with you. They will be able to correctly diagnose what kind of worm this is and give the correct dewormer. Let them know what you've already given and how much. Usually it can take a few days after a dewormer has been given before you stop seeing worms in the stool. This is because the dewormer paralyzes the worms and they loose their grip on the intestinal… [cont.]

How long does it take for a dewormer to work?
Q. I'm so confused! I took my kitten into the vet's on Wednesday to be dewormed and it is now Saturday and I haven't seen any dead worms in his poop. He still has a bloated belly. I mean, they SHOULD pass if it was a vet prescribed medicine... right? When my dog was a puppy, he passed the worms the day after he was given the pill. I'm worried about my little kitten. The parasites are causing him to not gain much weight. Does anyone know if worms can take longer than 3 days to pass???

A. I'm sure that you took a stool sample in so that the vet could give you the right drug for the kinds of worms that he had? The wormer kills the live worms right away, but you may not see any in the stool. With kittens though it usually takes more than one round of worming to get rid of all the worms - they should have another dose two weeks from the first one (that's the life cycle of the worms - eggs to live worms in two weeks). It may take a couple of days though for him to pass all of the worms, but if he's still bloated by Monday it surely wouldn't hurt to check with the vet.

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.
