Droncite tablets or a droncite injection is what the vet will prescribe for tapeworms. You can get them on the internet..but depending where you live, not sure which will be less expensive for you, talk to the vet and check out the site below...also don't forget to treat your cats for fleas as welll, this is where they get the tapeworms from, and can re-infect themselves over and over if they continue to have fleas. This can cost you a bundle if you have to keep deworming them.

As far as I know there is no "natural" remedy for tapeworms in cats. There are a number of kinds of worms a cat can have and it is usually best to have a vet determine which worms they are. Otherwise you are subjecting your cat to unnecessary, ineffective and possibly dangerous medications.

Tapeworms come from fleas. You must treat for both fleas and tapeworms; if you just treat for tapeworms they'll keep coming back because of the fleas.
A vet can treat kitty for tapeworms and advise you on how to get rid of the fleas.

There is some kind of oil that you buy over the counter that will get rid of them. I think it is Olive Oil but I am not sure.
What ever it is mix it with dry cat food and the tape worms will come out when they have a bowel movement. Be sure to change the litter often while doing this, like everyday.

take your cats to the vet ASAP and ask them if there are some pills that you can give them. There are lots of hartworm pills for dogs so there must be something like that for cats.

if it were you who had tapeworms would you try a unknown cure. take your cat to the vet, if you can't afford that then you can't afford to have a cat.
