Hey
I have a Maine Coon – who is exactly 10 months old today. Has weighs 14 pounds for 3 weeks now. He is an indoor cat. OCCASIONALLY I let him roam on the screened in balcony. We live in Florida
I encountered and issue… WORMS!! Before I go to a vet and spend > $100 – I thought I would run this by you guys.
My set-up: Tidy Breeze Pellets. Replace his pee pad twice weekly. I clean his litter box DAILY. I place the poop into a Litter Genie Disposal. Get rid of the poo bag weekly.
Now – this week when I’m removing the bag of poo from the Litter Genie – I noticed SUPER TINY white-ish worms swarming around. First time I see this!! No I did not take a picture. I’m trying to figure out if they grew because of the poo/moisture inside of the litter genie… or if they came from inside my cat. Now – my cat’s poop is well formed – not dehydrated or loose. Healthy bowels – I have never seen worms on his poop when I scoop it. But then again I NEVER looked that closely – also the worms are super tiny. He EATS or wants to EAT a lot… but he’s always been that way. When I first got him at 16 weeks, he was dewormed by the breeder, then twice by my vet (when we got his shots/health check up).
Any thoughts/advice?
