Are cats affected by lungworms?

Question

A friend of mine borrowed my cat carrier to take a sick hedgehog to the vet yesterday. The poor little thing was in a bad way - he had lungworms, intestinal parasites, hypothermia, dehydration and a bad infestation of fleas. Will I ever be able to fully get rid of the germs from my cat carrier or should I just buy a new one. I really hope the little hedgehog will be ok by the way.

Answer 1

Give it a good and very thorough cleaning and it'll be okay.

Gl! Hope all goes well with the hedgehog lol!

Answer 2

i would get a new one!

Answer 3

VWP is a cleaner, steriliser and deodoriser used for beer brewing, from your local home-brew shop, it will even get rid of milk limescale on glass, follow the instructions and it will effectively clean most things.

Answer 4

get some milton sterilizer and follow instructions otherwise dilute bleach by following instructions.

Answer 5

Yes, they are rare in cats but they can get them.  Wash your carrier thoroughly in a 10% bleach solution, and you should be fine though.  A 10% bleach solution kills just about everything.
