Here is the situation: about a week ago I noticed tapeworm segments around Mustache Man's butt. So a friend told me about diamaticious (sp?) earth food grade and how it can get rid of worms. So I bought a bag. I figured if one cat had it then the others did too so I bought some canned cat food since the DE powder doesn't stick to dry food. I started feeding them only twice a day from the free feeding I normally do. Mustache is a picky eater and I had to get multiple brands and different flavors for him to try. After I figured out that he likes chicken flavor (same flavor as the dry food) which was like two days after I started the DE my one cat G started throwing up a good bit. So after a day of this I gave up...put back their normal dry food and let them free feed again. I went to my local Tractor Supply and bought tape worm meds which I ONLY gave to Mustache Man. Now G is acting strange...he sleeps pretty much all day now, he is drinking still but haven't seen him eat much, and doesn't really want to play.
Before all this...the cats ONLY were fed dry food since the day they were old enough to eat it. I'm just wondering if changing his diet so drastically really messed with him both physically and mentally? Or is it something I should take him to the vet for?
