I noticed my cat vomiting and it had tapewrorms in it. I was wondering if there was anything I could use that is around the house. Like a home remedy

stuff around the home would not be as potent as what they give you at the vet..so i would say take her to the vet and get something.
Good luck :)

If your dog is vomiting the tape worm that means her body is rejecting it which is good. But if they are coming out of that end so close to her heart then I'd take her to the vet immediately. So many diseases can come from this that a simple series of pills could have taken care of. Most are contagious too so try to clean up her stool and vomit asap! Bring a stool sample with you when you go since they'll probably be expecting one for testing. I hope your cat gets better. Sorry I've never heard of a home remedy. Most 24hr petER hospitals will give you advice over the phone too.

She needs to be treated by a vet. It is very dangerous to give your cat medication around the house.
She also may need to be treated for fleas. Most tapeworms infestations are caused by fleas...fleas carry tapeworm eggs they feed off of in the environment. When dogs and cats groom, they sometimes ingest fleas, and the eggs are not digested. They grow into tapeworms.
So, you need to treat the fleas as well as tapeworms.
Cats can also get tapeworms from eating vermin, such as mice, that carry tapeworms, but fleas is the most common cause.

Take her to the vet. The vet will give you medications and instructions to give your cat. Hurry because tapeworms eat all the food your cat eats so without anyfood your cat can die. I'm sorry for your cat but I wouldn't wait for a home remedy.

Sorry you need Drontal Tablets for Cats that you can only get from your vet.
You could try Tradewinds Tape Worm Tabs for Cats $14.99 that is a non-prescription praziquantel tapewormer. You can purchase this at your local pet store.

I wouldn't use anything at home..Take her to the vet..They give a shot..mine had it..it was only like 20 dollars..Then, be sure to get some advantage or frontline to keep the fleas off of her, so she won't get tapeworms anymore.

Go to the vet. I don't know of any home remedy, and i wouldn't try any. The vet is the best bet since this is contagious and life threatening

No, you must give her a Drontal pill for cats. They are sold at pet stores.
