My kitten eats anything,does this mean she has worms?

Question

She seems hungry all the time,she will eat pretty much anything,crisp,noodles,even vegetables sometimes. She eats alot but isnt fat or anything. I did give her worm tablets when i first had her,about 6 months ago.

Answer 1

Well, it does not mean that for sure. Remember a kitten is like a toddler. They are exploring the world around them, so it is only natural they will try and eat anything and everything.
But to be sure, you should look in its feces for small, moving white things. That is a clear sign that the kitten has a bad case of worms.

Answer 2

It doesn't mean she has worms, she just likes to eat and is finding out what tastes good. Kittens are very active and she's probably burning off tons of calories, which keeps her thin and hungry. Her metabolism should slow down as she ages. If your really concerned, a visit to the vet will answer the worm question.

Answer 3

Kittens should be wormed at least every three months, 6 weeks even for young kittens 3 - 9 mths old. Cats are prone to worms, so the cheapest, easiest, and kindest thing to do is keep your cat wormed regularly.

Answer 4

If your kitten eats anything then we can assume that it has eaten dirt or fecal matter infested with the eggs of digestive parasites. Therefore the answer is "Your kitten probably does have worms if it eats anything, or if it does not, it is logically only a matter of time until it will."

Answer 5

No, it does'nt mean that she has worms but she could! You would be better off taking her to the vet just to be sure!! My 8 month old kitten likes our food better than hers. She eats steak, porks chops, bread, cold meat and she never got sick!! She goes crazy when she smells the pork chops! She is very energetic so she is slim but she does'nt have worms!! Good luck with your little one!

Answer 6

My kitten's favorite food is anything we are eating. She comes running and howling if she hears anything she thinks is a chip bag or the can opener.

IF you think she is wormy, look at her feces when you clean her litter box. You will see them in the stool.

Answer 7

You should worm your cat regularly, but It doesn't sound like she has worms. You would know if she had worms, because she would pass them in her feces.

Answer 8

if you are feeding your cat healthy foods, your kitten is safe from worms,maybe your kitten just like foods

Answer 9

not wise to let her eat anything other than cat food ,they can't digest table scraps at all,it will make her very ill.no it does not mean she has worms ,it's just that they don't know any better.

its cos your kitten might be stil young.

it'll be fine..
but best is to watch out for food which are salty.
