Tapeworms? If so, you may need a medicine that's specific to them.

Hi, I would strongly advise getting the cat to a vet as soon as possible. Tell them everything, --and don't wait any longer. Your cat is not eating or drinking and this is a big problem. Please don't wait.

I agree with Furball, and Ive never heard of giving a cat a horse wormer, is this typical practice?

I believe pyrantel may be what they are referring to? It’s known as a horse dewormer but works very well in cats when used in small amounts. They still need to go to the vet though because it sounds like it isn’t working.

And please don’t feed him cheese products, those are most likely to make him sicker, OP.

I agree with everyone here. Your cat must go to the vet, as in tomorrow!

I wasn't sure, thats why I thought Id ask!

I don’t think horse wormer is safe for cats. You need to vet him ASAP!

Yeah it may be safe but if the OP hasn’t gone to a vet idk how they got it and and it hasn’t been properly dosed so there’s no way of knowing if they are giving the correct amount. So I agree with you and everyone else that the op NEEDS to go to a vet!
