Hi, I have two cats- one is a little over a year old and the other around six months. The older has been neutered and given a few vaccinations, but the other has never even been to the vet (it's not my cat, it's my sister's) because they are both strictly indoor cats. Neither have ever had any health issues, no vomiting, no diarrhea, no lethargy or loss of appetite or weight...do you guys think it is silly to waste the hundreds of dollars in vet bills that I'll face to have them both seen, fecal tested, and dewormed (it adds up as I'm sure you all know)? I have absolutely no reason to think they have any sort of worms, but I've been reading horror stories about various types going undetected/ignored with devastating results. And if not the multiple trips to the vet, do you think I would be OK buying an over the counter/pet store dewormer? I know very little about all these things, so any help/advice would be appreciated.
From what I understand all kittens are born with worms, so I guess what I'm asking is do you think it is necessary to take them to a vet and pay to have them dewormed professionally, or would i be OK going the over the counter route?
Thanks!
