How to Treat Roundworms in Kittens (and When They Can Take Dewormer)
Kittens with roundworms need prompt deworming - left alone, the worms mature, migrate to organs, and can stall growth or even kill. Here is how to treat them and when deworming is safe.
Can a Pregnant Cat Be Given Calcium?
A pregnant cat's needs are no longer just its own, but do not over-supplement or cause imbalance and obesity. Starting from calcium, we cover pregnancy diet notes.
Kitten seemed fine this morning, now stays in one spot, walks unsteadily, weak limbs, some incontinence; suspect head injury from falling (found tapeworm 2 days ago, gave 1/4 pill dewormer, caged; cage has two levels, kitten likes to climb, fell a few times).
Wobbly walking and incontinence have many causes: head injury/concussion from trauma (vet now); drug toxicity/metabolic from dewormer (check bloodwork); long-term calcium deficiency, arthritis, joint dysplasia. Find cause first; best at a hospital.
My Hamster Trembles and Walks Abnormally After I Applied Cat Dewormer – What Happened?
Trembling after cat dewormer on a hamster is likely drug poisoning; some hamsters are allergic. Cat topical dewormers have hard-to-control ingredients and doses for hamsters, and overdose can be absorbed through skin. This is urgent - see a vet.
What happens if a puppy is given an overdose of medicine?
Symptoms depend on the drug, dose and the individual puppy. Mild overdoses may need only water to aid kidney metabolism, but toxic drugs like dewormers can cause vomiting, seizures or coma. Severe reactions require immediate veterinary care.
My dog’s eyes have been swollen for a long time; is it internal inflammation or does it need deworming? I gave dewormer and the eyes swelled up and got worse over the past week
Swelling after deworming likely means an allergic reaction to the medication, with itching, redness, and tearing; a vet can give an anti-allergy shot. Swelling can also come from parasites if deworming was ineffective.
My cat has had diarrhea ever since I gave him dewormer last night — I don’t know why. He played with toys and fell pretty hard before deworming, and I’m not sure if he was just scared during it.
Frequent diarrhea after deworming is likely irritation of the gut by the medication, which is common. Give the cat pet probiotics to regulate its stomach and keep it warm and rested. If diarrhea persists, take it to a veterinary hospital for a checkup.
Can I give my cat albendazole tablets?
Pet albendazole tablets and ivermectin topical solution are safe internal dewormers for cats, but control dose and frequency—they are toxic if overdosed. Follow the label or vet strictly; dose by weight.
My Two-Month-Old Cat Was Brought Home the Day Before Yesterday, Fed Cat Food Directly Without Transition, Now Has Yellow Stools and Low Energy. Can I Give It Probiotics, and Should I Withhold Food?
Cat diarrhea is usually caused by parasites, bacterial enteritis, food-change indigestion, or panleukopenia. If the cat's energy and appetite are normal, the cause is likely indigestion from the new environment or food, and short fasting with anti-diarrhea and anti-inflammatory medication may help.
What happens if a puppy eats human dewormer?
A puppy eating human dewormer may show poisoning, even death in overdose, because human and pet formulas differ in composition and dose; too little fails, too much causes vomiting/diarrhea. If ingested, see a vet for induced vomiting and detox; use pet-specific dewormer at the right dose.
