She doesn't have fleas at all, it was treated before adoption last year. No fleas since then luckily and also they didn't look like tapeworms 😩 None of our pets have fleas, they are all constantly treated with prevention. The worms ,I have photos are very big/long with rounded bodies. They are...

...made up by many segments. When they pass them in the stool it can look like long grain white rice. E cause all you see is the segments. if the fleas had never been completely the resolved, it is highly likely that she could eat another one that is carrying the tapeworm egg and re infest...

...we have serious issues with...worms. She was dewormed,vaccinated and neutered before the adoption, then she was dewormed again with pills for fleas too. Everything fine and nice, she's healing very well from the neutering. A little time passes, it's January this year , she throws up a huge...

...hyperthyroid medicine, but I do know that sometimes, no matter how well the vet or vet techs can clean the spaces, pets can sometimes pick up fleas or other ectoparasites from vet rooms/offices. Do you give him any meds for such things? If he has been to the vet several times recently, I...

I guess that I am in the middle on this. My cat vet does not automatically deworm if a cat has fleas, but I have had a few occasions where various cats have had tapeworms and then had to be treated for them. This has always happened during flea season, even if the cats are treated. I have had...

Interesting. I guess my cat is just out of the norm then. We've been fighting fleas off and on for a few years now and - knock on wood - she has not had any tapeworms.

My vet has stated previously that cats are not like dogs. Dogs will bite at fleas and not get them, but cats will get almost all of them, so she always recommends deworming for tapeworms if your kitty has fleas.

...stool for worms first. I presume you cn collect some stool from outside - ideally soon after he goes - bag it and refrigerate it if you can't get it to the vet right away. Although, fairly common with fleas and tapeworms, it doesn't always happen, so why give this cat a wormer if it is not...

I saw that it depends what you want to give together. So I would definitely ask the vet. That being said, cats get tapeworm from ingesting fleas, so it is good the fleas will die first. Put the tapeworm pill in a tiny bit of cheese or pressed into half cooked bacon (I haev used a tiny piece of...

For the first time since we've been caring for him, our outdoor community kitty has fleas. He's been so itchy and scratchy the past week to 10 days. I was thinking it was food related since we changed food about 3-4 weeks ago, but then I saw a flea crawling on him. I got topical flea meds from...

If you suspect allergies, you would need to ask the vet for allergy medicine specific to cats, and likely to start with an elimination diet which starts with a hydrolyzed protein diet from the vet as a prescription . I put the instructions for talking to a vet here: Food Allergy - How to...

I've had my cats several time to the veterinarian at first she was saying she had fleas but I went and got the best revolution there was and there was no fleas. Her constant licking and grooming would get to a point where you almost could see her epidermis I had switch veterinarians and had at...

The cat distribution system loves bringing you those odd cases!

Sure is a very handsome fellow..... and indeed very LUCKY( so are you❤️)

...on top of the fence. I called to him and he jumped down (6ft is high for a small kitten) but he made it, ran up to me. I picked him up. Poor thing was shivering with cold, very skinny, had fleas and was only about 10 weeks old. Well, here he is. Pic taken last night. Isn't he a handsome...

...- this time may come soon; its not enough with the standard dewormer taking only roundworms. Being flea infested he may also have tapeworms, because fleas are inbetween host of tapeworm. These spot on deparasites takes often roundworm too, but not always tapeworm. Let your vet advice you.

I rescued a 6-week-old kitten this week that had been dumped near a barn. She is in very good health, other than fleas. My state is having a massive flea outbreak due to rain, so bathing in Dawn dish soap isn't working well enough. I do have capstar that I keep on hand, but she is not yet the 2...

...in this country and hate that there isn't much I can do about it permanently. There are some dogs where I am that are covered in ticks and fleas and their bones are showing. They also have mange. I wish I could take them to a vet but I don't have much money and the mentality by the locals...

...hardly eat for days because he only ate IF I was petting him so after a few months of that vicious cycle I switched him to a monthly pill for fleas ( credilio) -it doesn't cover as many parasites as the Revolution Plus but breaking up the pill into a powder mixed in his food and splitting it...

...taking them for walks but that would mean the added expense of putting them on flea medicine. Which I have never liked using on them. If my room gets full of fleas I have nowhere to put them to get my room treated. Just wondering what you guys think, I want to make their lives a little happier.
