we have a cat. she slept on a pile a laundry last night and a was looking at the mess she made on the clothes and saw little tiny worm things. little alive black/grey magoty type yuck worms. vets closed till monday. i shurt her in the spare room, but i dont know how long she has had them.....whatever they are!
anyone had this???
Obvious question, but have you wormed her? Internal worms can make their way outside onto the fur. Otherwise, have you checked her over, that she doesn't have a sore or an abcess or similar? That really can't wait till Monday - if you find one, you need to clean it straight away, salty water is the best antiseptic for animals so mix up a teaspoon or so in a cup of warm water.
If its internal worms, you need to treat that straight away too as they can be really bad for her health.
i worm her every three months. no painful looking sores! i think it might be flea larvea, i think, i guess it is coming in to flea season again. thanks ausgirl!!!
Do you mean they were in her faeces? Or did she vomit it up? Treat for fleas and worms. Make sure you use a good wormer that does all worms (e.g. drontal). Usually if you can see worm fragments in the faeces it is from flea tapeworm so particularly make sure you get a wormer that does that, and it wouldn't hurt to do hydatid tapeworm either. HTH.
