I am currently helping care for my elderly mother, who was recently put on hospice. She has one cat, a 6 year old long hair dilute calico named Molly. My elderly cat Tigan a 17 year old seal point tonkanese, has been staying there for six months now, and when i moved in to help with her, I brought my four year old long hair cream cat, Andy with me. These are all and have always been indoor only cats. My two were wormed two years ago when we had a puppy in the house with worms, never wormed them since. Hers was wormed as a kitten.
They have been throwing up alot, they eat Purina Naturals cat food, but we are switching to blue buffalo as we felt it might be the reason for the puking. Other then that, there has been no sign of illness. Today mom found a round worm near the bathroom window where they sit at. It looked like it had been in puke, but might of been caught in the hair around the butt.
We will be going out first thing tomorrow to get wormer, and are wondering which one is the best, and how to go about making sure each cat gets its own? I am thinking its going to have to be with a syringe as her cat is really picky about what it eats and wont even eat any kind of canned cat food. And only picks at her dry food.
So what would be the best form of liquid for syringe wormer? or is there a good kind of pill form that I could make them swallow? I know how to do both.
thanks in advance!
