Well Saturday i noticed something was just stuck on him so i tried to grab it off, he backed away and won't let me touch it again. I was wondering if someone thinks this is a tapeworm or another type of worm? He is mostly outdoors and gets flea medicine from vet. I realize flea medicine alone won't prevent worms. Also he doesn't go to the bathroom inside so i can't check his feces.
Looked all over the internet and tapeworm seems to be likely. But can't find anything about it coming out the back. I don't have the money to take him to the vet unless i'm certain. He is acting normal but i just noticed couple days ago. Think there might be warning signs before, because this thing would be huge at this point i'd think.
Alright say this is indeed a worm how can i try to prevent this from happening again? How long will this treatment last for? And is the only way to stop worms in cats is going to the vet every time?
Thanks if someone has the time to reply or not. Tonight if he is around i'll try to take picture and upload it.
