Hi, so we bought some dewormer (drontal) which will be coming in a few days (2-3). I haven't actually seen worms, but he has had some very wet poops (which do not smell good) and yesterday he was scooting his butt on the floor (left some lovely poop for me to clean up after!) so we're assuming he probably has some sort of worm because of how abnormal this is for him. I'm not sure if I should give him a whole tablet to get rid of the probable worms (last time he had them as a kitten, we couldn't see anything either), or if I should give him a half tablet for prevention and see if that helps. As it is, he is playful, active, he still eats, drinks, and uses his litter properly (apart from the aforementioned incident of butt scooting).
I understand the advice would be to take him to a vet, but that really isn't a possibility. We'll take him if things get worse/not better. My parents are from France where we tend to deal with things ourselves with our pets, so deworming never goes through a vet and it's not exactly my money to spend either.
For Information: The cat is about a year and some months and behaves very much like an average 1yo cat, even now. His belly doesn't seem big and firm, like I've seen with some kittens/cats when dealing with worms.
