Having roundworms in my cats is a permanent disease?

Question

Is that possibl i give them medicine, then it will never happen it to them forever.

Answer 1

Most answers above are correct. Have a stool sample checked at the vet. The wormer is given in two doses 14 days apart because of the gestation period of the worms. Round worms are a normal thing in kittens and adult cats that spend time outdoors. They can kill a kitten or an ill cat, but normaly will not harm a healthy cat. It's a good idea to have a stool sample checked every year for any cat that lives outdoors or may be eating mice.

I have also had very good luck using grapefruit seed extract in a diluted dose for internal parasites. A small amount every day for 14 days will kill worms, giardia and such without having any side effects. You can also mix it in a spray bottle to clean the litterbox and where the cat sleeps. It will kill parasites and bacteria without harming your pet.

If you feed a quality natural food you can also prevent many worm problems. A healthy cat will naturaly fend off parasites. Here is a good article on pet food. http://www.belfield.com/article3.html

Worms are gross but it isn't the end of the world. In a few weeks you should be worm free!

Answer 2

worms are a parasitic infection, not a disease, nor are they permanent. Worms are easily transmitted if the cat catches mice or other wildlife, such as birds.
De-worm your cat using an all rounder worming treatment, which you can buy in the supermarket or at the vet.
Do this every three months, and your cat will be fine. Follow proper dosage instructions on the packet.
Remember to worm all your pets at the same time to stop them passing the eggs back to each other.

Answer 3

You must give medicine.,
Fleas. Fleas can easily invade your home, particularly if you have a dog or if you let your cat outside. Fleas can cause such health problems in cats as anemia, allergies, skin infections, and tapeworms.

There is a vast array of flea-fighting products that are highly effective and safe; consult your veterinarian for advice on products to use and an ongoing flea control plan. Avoid using pesticides and over-the-counter flea remedies—they are unnecessary given today's arsenal of safer, veterinarian-prescribed products—and never use flea products on your cat that are intended for use on dogs because such products can be fatal to your cat. Flea collars are not effective against fleas and can even irritate your cat's skin.

Tapeworms. These internal parasites are picked up by ingesting rodents or raw meat or fish, or from adult fleas that are carriers. Tapeworms are passed through the cat's feces. Often you can spot tapeworm segments in your cat's stool or under her tail—they look like small grains of rice. If you see signs of tapeworms, bring a fecal sample to your veterinarian to get worming medication for your cat. You may need to start a flea control program at the same time. Never use over-the-counter worming products. These are usually ineffective and can cause unwanted side effects in your cat.

Coccidia. These internal parasites are picked up from the infected feces of other animals. Symptoms can be nonexistent or quite serious; they include mild to severe diarrhea, weakness, depression, loss of appetite, and weight loss. Your veterinarian will need a fresh fecal sample to diagnose the problem and prescribe medication for these parasites.

Roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms. These internal parasites cause symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, a pot belly, and a dull coat. The symptoms become more serious and debilitating if your cat's condition is left untreated. Your veterinarian can diagnose these parasites by examining a fecal sample under a microscope. The various treatments may involve several doses before these parasites are eliminated.

Answer 4

Roundworms aren't a disease. Medication will get rid of them but if your cats got them from being outdoors, they will probably get worms again. And if you don't clean their litterbox thoroughly, they can pass the worms back and forth to each other.

Answer 5

The best way to control worms in your cat is to take the cat and a stool sample to the vets and talk about getting her on a deworming program.

Answer 6

definately not permanent. Medicine should help. Can be reinfected, I think by drinking from outdoor water sources where worm eggs may be present, or contact with the poop of another animal that has them.

Answer 7

The best way to control worms in yourcat is to have periodic fecal exams performed by your veterinarian (they dont cost much), and stick to a regular deworming program. If you dont the worms will become resistant to the dewormers and thats when you will have a problem.

Answer 8

no you have to keep giving them the medicine until you are positiveley sure the worms are gone then you have to make sure that you take them to the vet every couple of months to make sure they are still gone

Answer 9

of course not
they can occure again
apply regular antiparasitic
to prevent its occurance you should control hygenic conditions remove faeces (stool) regularly and clean the cage and prevent crowding
