I have four rescues..three are indoor-outdoor and one strictly indoors. If I could do it over again I'd have kept them all indoors, but when I've tried to transition the three to staying in, they become miserable.
It seems that every few months one or two come down with worms. I give them medicine from the vet when this happens, but I'm scared that the repeated dosing will either have long-term consequences or they'll become immune to it.
Not to mention that they hate taking medicine and I'd rather keep them parasite-free than constantly pill them:-(.
I've talked to my vet about this and he reassures me that while worms are tricky, the meds will help. They've received both the pill version and I've even opted for the injections against parasites. I also Frontline them every month.
Guys, is there a daily vitamin or supplement I can give them to make them more resistant to this? I've read about garlic but also read that too much garlic can poison cats.
I'm so frustrated I could cry. I worry about my babies' health and feel like a POS pet-mama.
Please advise me. I know Keeping all of them indoors would be ideal, I just don't know how to do that without causing them major distress. In the meantime, CAN I supplement their diets against worms? Is there anything out there to help us?
Please help. I could seriously cry right now. ANY advice on keeping them worm-free would be humbly appreciated.
