Pet Wormers
There are a few unpleasant things you have to deal with when taking care of your furry ones. Tapeworms are one of these. While more common than you would think, as long as they are treated quickly by the right
liquid. It all depends on what kind of wormer your pet will most easily take to.
To Make a Diagnosis
There can be both obvious and less pronounced (visible) signs of your pet having worms:
* It can be easy to diagnose your animal if there are visible worms or eggs in your pet's poo. Be sure to check for worms in your cat's
litter box as you clean it regularly.
* Worms can even weave themselves in your dog or cat's fur;
tapeworms dry out to look like dry rice grains. The fur around the butt is the most likely place for these worm particles to be.
* When the worms aren't visible, which is just as likely, you may notice your cat or dog itching their rear. Dogs will sometimes drag their bums across the ground to ease their discomfort.
* Cats vomit more often than dogs do, but vomiting can be a symptom of having worms. Especially if your dog is vomiting, you may have to check the mess for worms.
* Swollen bellies are another sign.
* If your animal is unusually tired, weak, hungry,or losing weight rapidly, it can mean worms are stealing their food! If weight loss is occurring, the worms may have been in your pet's system for a while.
* Bloody diarrhea can be another symptom for both cats and dogs.
