Why do the worms keep coming back in my Cat...?

Question

My Cat was treated with Profender July 28 and now more tapeworms appeared today it seems a little soon for them to already be coming back. What could be the problem...??? They are tapeworms...

I'm going to the vet to pick up a pill and i'm going to get front line just in case?? what can i do to keep them away..

P.s she's an indoor cat

Answer 1

She's getting worms from ingesting fleas when she cleans herself.  To get rid of the worms forever you must first get rid of the fleas, and that includes flea bombing your house and treating your yard.

Answer 2

Um...ask the vet once you get there.

Answer 3

An excellent treatment for fleas and worms--and ear mites and ticks--is "Revolution."

If your vet gives you a prescription for Revolution you only need apply it once a month on the back of the cat's neck to keep all those pests off of her.

Monthly doses cost about $10 but are so worth it!

Answer 4

you need to ask the vet, mine have worm at almost every vet visit, but they are indoor/outdoor. unless you have an old house and mice are getting in, and she is eating them, i dont know where the worms are coming from.

i am not familiar with Profender , but if this was meds you bought over the counter, you really should have a vet examine and treat her.

Answer 5

Definetly get flea meds and maybe you should flea-bomb your house incase they are in t he carpet or anywhere else. And completely clean out the cat box too.

Answer 6

First COWS MILK DOES NOT CAUSE WORMS...it causes diarrhea in cats

Raw meat will give them worms... anything that a flea is on

A bird or mouse they have eaten.

Possibly all of the tapeworms were not gotten rid of last time.

How to get rid of fleas that are in your house....

IF YOUR HOUSE / cat HAS FLEAS….

I have a NATURAL remedy for getting rid of fleas in your house.

Go to the Store and buy some 20 Mule Team BORAX.

Then sprinkle it all over. Carpets, couch, bedding, pillows, pet beds, car, even wood floors. (NOT ON YOUR PET!)

THEN VACCUME IT UP.

What Boax does is coats the eggs ... The eggs hatch deformed or unable to reproduce.

You will have to do this 2 or 3x about a week apart in order to get all the egg cycles.

good luck
