I adopted an adult cat from a local rescue program two weeks ago. He's a darling and we're so happy to have him in our family.
However, I noticed last week that he has a tapeworm, from the usual 'rice' bits around his bum and on his bed.
The rescue program sent us three tablets of Pry-A-Pam, and we gave him his first dose six days ago. Since then, the amount of worms visible ahs more than tripled and it's getting to be a disgusting mess! he is due for his next dose in four days and then another in ten more - but I can't imagine it would take a full month to get rid of a tapeworm???
I have found next to no information online about how long the process will take, can anyone enlighten me?
Also, I have another adult cat but she received a shot of Advantage and a de-worming shot in September. Do I need to treat her again as well?
Thanks!
