Tapeworm

sherilynnc · Dec 22, 2016

Rescue kitty was treated, by vet, for tapeworms on Tuesday afternoon. I am still finding tapeworm segments on her bedding. Is this normal this many days after the medication? It's really hard to see if any is in her stool due to clumping kitty litter.

It may depend on the medication used. I would contact your vet. see http://www.vcahospitals.com/main/pe.../animal-health/tapeworm-infection-in-cats/349

She was given Drontal feline tabs. Will call vet in a minute and see what they say. Thank you for replying.

Spoke with vet today. She says if we see any tapeworm segments after 1 week we will retreat.
