Worming cats2007-11-25 12:34:05

Whats the best way to do it. I saw powder that you put on the back of their neck toady in Morrisons, but I can't believe that it would really work, yet it would be so much easier than giving tablets.

Answers:

pills are a nightmare - the cats know, hold them in their mouths for up to 30 minutes then spit them out when your back is turned after already shredding your arms in the process of getting the thing in in the first place.

liquids or crushed pills in food does NOT work - the cat knows and refuses to eat - or like mine eats everything except the bits of pill or the 5 bits of meat I spent 20 minutes carefully hiding the 5 bits of pill inside of.

injections are costly and I just hate watching puss being stuck like a pig (and the yowling is deafening.)

liquid form is good - put some in a syringe and squirt straight down their throat - some scratches are likely bur she won't spit it out!

some flea preparations that you drop onto the neck also kill some worms - stronghold is one that kills all but tape worms, but if she doesnt get fleas etc they are the carriers of tapeworms so you should not have to worry.

the choice is yours - I use stronghold (only available from a vet) - my cat doesnt get fleas, mites, ticks or any sort of worm. (and I don't suffer for it.)

i bought a liquid for my cat and put it in her food and it worked.

get a spoon and stick up his/her * and scoop them out. They can be real tasy on toast with a cup of tea, try it

Shoot the cat the worms will eventually die off.

Just crush the tablets up in the cat food, we give our cat a bit of tuna mixed with the tablet to make sure he eats it.

no it doesn't the best thing you can do is go to your vet and let the vet either give her a worm pill(either droncit or drontal they are the best) or a shot since it is easier.
