Another common intestinal parasite in cats is tapeworms. They can affect both indoor and outdoor cats, regardless of age and breed. Though tapeworms seldom cause serious illnesses, they can affect your cat through mild diarrhea, intestinal blockages and complications, loss of appetite, and seizures.
There are several ways a cat can acquire tapeworms. Most tapeworms have a host that your cat must ingest to get the parasite inside them. Here are some animals that might be a host for the tapeworms:
●Fleas
●Rats, mice, and other rodents
●Frogs or snakes
●Fish
If you have noticed a white or golden grain-like stuff can be found in cat feces as well as around the anus, it is a huge sign that your cat has tapeworms. You can have a cat’s fecal test to see if she is infested with the parasite. It is important to diagnose and identify the type of tapeworm your cat is having to apply the proper medication.
Work with your local veterinarian Spring Hill, TN in creating a health preventive program that includes your pet’s year-round protection against internal and external parasites.
