How do you get rid of worms in Cats? Any Natural Remedies? And how do they.....

Actually, my vet told me that they get worms from ingesting (eating) a flea... the only treatment I've found comes in the form of a pill from my vet. one pill and the worms are gone.

Your right. I made a mistake. I knew it was fleas. My brain must have been on the blink. Droncit is the name brand of the worming tablet by Bayer TM. There is also another brand for cats on the American market, but I forgot the name. If I'm doing my whole gang, my vet gives me a brand from Europe. It's the exact same chemical, but a larger dose for dogs at the same cost per pill. I split the pills in half giving each cat half a pill, cutting my cost in half. My vet rocks! I love my vet team.

I did buy a pill at the pet store where are vet is at. And I gave it to him an hour later he throwed up it. So I'm not sure if any of the medication stayed with him. So the second treatment is not for 10 days. But i haven't seen anything else so I'm thinking there gone. Thanks for the advice though.

Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade It will kill fleas and can be mixed into your cats food to remove worms. It does not work overnight on worms, but it does work. It has microscopic silica in it that slices the worms in the intestine and when used as a flea powder does the same to the fleas. You must only use FOOD GRADE! There is a pool grade formula but that is for pool filters and can be very harmful to animals as well as humans. The FOOD GRADE is safe for people and animals and is 100% natural!! I have used it and it does work!! There are many sites about it, just do a search and you can find it and several facts and testimonials about its effectiveness as well as places to purchase it. It isn't too expensive if you find the right place. I spent about $11.00 on a 4lb bag and sprinkled all of my carpets, dusted all 3 of my cats and have been mixing it in their food once a week and still have about 1/4 of a bag left! I am not a vet, but I did research the product for several weeks before trying it and made sure I got the Food Grade and not the Pool Grade. Good luck to you!

I noticed that my little cat of 2 and 1/2 years had been nibbling on my chives plant outside. Garlic, onion and chives are part of the same vegetable family. It was about a month later that she looked sick and her gums were very pale. We took her to the vet only to find out that her red blood cells were being destroyed by a tick bite disease, called biliary. I mentioned that my little cat had been nibbling on the chives and the vet said that this was probably the worst thing she could have been doing, as it retards the development of new red blood cells, meaning that the cat would become anaemic. As she was a little cat stunted in growth, her small body could not produce enough red blood cells to keep her alive, her blood was starved of oxygen and the existing red blood cells were rapidly being destroyed now by the biliary, which had more of an effect in this situation, than if she had not eaten any veg from that particular family. I have been very careful now not to have those plants in the garden and feed my cats tinned food and dry kibbles. The tinned food, could give your pets worms, so after researching this, I now give my cats Apple Cider Vinegar, about 1/4 of a teaspoon per cats meal, mixed in very well, otherwise they will be gasping for air!!! The Apple Cider Vinegar is also very good for breaking down urinary crystals and helps your cats by alleviating their urinary tract and bladder cystitis problems that occur from eating proteins and not drinking enough water. My older female cat had been spotting blood in her urine and had trouble urinating. Cystitis can be very painful and/or uncomfortable for them and humans as well. Try Apple Cider Vinegar - 1/4 of a teaspoon 4x per day for 8 days added to their wet food and also add a few drops into their water bowl, to correct the cystitis problem that your male or female cats may experience. It really does work very well and they should experience relief by the end of the first day. Another note: Pure Coco-nut oil is really very good also for humans and pets and works wonders for hair/fur/skin/overweight/bacteria and the list goes on....So, try mixing some coco-nut oil in your pets food and see the difference it makes. Never give your cats avocado or even birds/parrots, as they will die :-( I hope that this info will be of use to at least some, who have researched for themselves by always making sure that they get informed and take their health and their pets health into their hands.

Right now it's hard to take him to the vet because of are money situation. We can barely afford food and are other expenses. I am giving him a pill I got fromthe pet store. So hopefully that takes care of it. If not I'll find the money to take him to the vet.

We don't give any sugar to are cat. And I don't need to wash him. He's a very clean cat. He cleans himself everytime you pet him. And he doesn't like baths not one bit. But I will be sure to give him a flea treatment.

Hope you love your cat so much
