Hi cat peeps...I was wondering if anyone here has had experience with tapeworms. I just discovered that my 8 week kittens have them...
I have got medicine from my vet which I'll be giving them soon (I need to make sure they're hungry cause I'm mashing it up with their food). This is supposed to have the tapeworms out in 2-3 days.
I'm also trying to sterilize my house...just vaccuming and mopping. Is this enough? The vet said the tw's can't survive outside the body anyway...
While the cats get "cured," I have them in my garage...it's pretty hot in there (I'm in Georgia...temps during the day reach mid 80's), but I've got ice water for them that I keep filled up.
Does anyone else have experience with this who can give me some tips?
Thanks!
