Simon has worms (likely roundworms, if Dr. google is correct). There really is no coming back from seeing worms moving in your cat’s stool Symptomatically, he has had ZERO issues for a few weeks - seeing the worm was my first and only indication that we have a problem.
I will be calling the vet first thing tomorrow to see about getting a dewormer (hoping we can avoid a vet visit or stool test since I saw them) - but I have a couple questions for y’all:
#1: Can you smash up the dewormer pill and mix it into wet food? Simon is very food motivated and it will be infinitely easier if I can just mix it into his food instead of trying to pill him.
#2: Can I still let my guy up onto my lap and the bed or should I keep him confined in his large crate until he has had a few doses of dewormer? He has EXTREME separation anxiety, so I am very nervous about how poorly this would go, but I also don’t want to end up with roundworm myself or something.
