Symptoms of Worms in Cats

Wikipedia 

Cats can get a variety of intestinal parasites, including some that are commonly referred to as “worms.” Infestations of intestinal worms can cause a variety of symptoms. Sometimes cats demonstrate few to no outward signs of infection, and the infestation can go undetected despite being a potentially serious health problem. Some feline parasitic worms are hazards for humane health as well.

Worms cat kinds:

There are two types of worms: roundworms (roundworms, hookworms) and flatworms (tapeworms).

-        Roundworm: ascaris are whites who can measure up to 20 centimeters: they look a lot like spaghetti! The kittens are almost systematically infested in. They contaminate either directly in their mother's womb, or by sucking it after birth. These worms feed at the expense of the kitten, and can cause diarrhea, vomiting and constipation, alternating weight loss, abdominal bloating, stunting, and sometimes even of bowel obstruction and perforation. Ascaris are parasites that can be transmitted to humans. They are a danger to children who can be contaminated in sandboxes or playing with cats not dewormed or badly wormed. Deworming must be systematic for all kittens, all the months (up to the age of 6 months), and four times a year for adults, even without observation of symptoms.

-    Flatworms: they parasitize mainly kittens on the farm or in the countryside. They are small to that very rarely observed in the stool. They are particularly aggressive tothe wall of the intestine. When they are very many the amount of blood they pump is enough to cause anemia, or even the death of the cat.

Flatworms:

It is mainly the tapeworm (Dipylidium caninum) or "tapeworm". It can measure up to 80 cm. Its segments or rings containing eggs are eliminated in the stool: they resemble grains of rice. Sometimes we see them in the hair surrounding the anus. The chips are often carriers of tapeworm larvae. In grooming or licking to chase fleas that him itch, the cat infects itself by swallowing them. To rid your cat of the tapeworm therefore need to be addressed at the same time against fleas.

Why deworm a cat?

Worms and your cat's health

These parasites can lead to more or less serious disorders on the health of our companions. Should be addressed preventively and systematically, because we see that very rarely the worms in the stool, even if they are present in the intestine.

Deworming important for the health of your cat: digestive present in the digestive tubeworms can indeed robbing some of the nutrients provided by the diet, and weaken the cat causing weight loss and deficiencies, despite a diet suited theoretically.

Deworming allows more cat to have an immune system (who defends him against disease) better, avoids digestive problems and dermatological (digestive worms may be responsible for falls of hair, itching) as well as the deficiencies in vitamins and minerals.

Cat worms: zoonosis

Some intestinal worms in the CAT are communicable to humans.

Tapeworms: for example Dipylidium caninum, which is quite benign in humans andechinococcus multilocularis, who is responsible for the alveolar echinococcosis, which causes cysts on the liver, the lungs, or in the brain after ingestion of eggs in the feces of cats eating fruit or unwashed vegetables, for example. The echinococcosis Isa very serious or life threatening for humans.

Roundworm: toxocara cati can contaminate children especially; it is the disease of sandboxes.

It is therefore essential to respect hygiene rules simple: cool your cat regularly, well to wash their hands (and to wash the children's hands), very often clean litter box, cover sandboxes for do not stray cats to do their needs inside...

When my cat worm?

Do it systematically:

For Kittens: following a modality and a frequency appropriate and specified by your veterinarian.

For adult cats: four times a year according to the recommendations of the ESCCAP,your veterinarian will advise you according to the way of life and the environment of your cat (for example for cats that come out frequently and hunt small wild animals, as well as for cats in contact with children in infancy, or cats of apartment,...).

Pregnant and nursing cats should be a protocol adapted deworming that can advise your vet.

Which Wormer to use?

According to age, the weight of your pet, and your habits, you can use several different forms: tablets (some dissolve themselves into the water), dough contained in a syringe, liquid to mix with food.

However, beware; not all are effective against all types of worms. To find a product suited to your needs, ask a vet.

There are also other products often based on plants or garlic, etc., which are natural but to renew more frequently. Check out deworming drugs based on natural plant extracts offered by Wanimo.

If you opt for a natural deworming, know that it is often recommended to alternate with a dewormer "classic."

How to recognize that your cat is sick?

One of the pleasures inherent in owning a cat is that they are very relaxed animal. Cats are champions of the trigger and they live a life we all dream: they're fun, they eat and sleep. Unfortunately, these habits can be a drawback when the cat gets sick. Instinctively, the cat will try to hide or regular habits (like sleep) may become exaggerated. To know if your cat is sick, you should know what symptoms monitor.

1. Pay attention to the amount of sleep for your cat.

 Sick cats sleep more. If your cat has no other signs of illness, for example if he vomits, if he has no diarrhea, loss of appetite or visible swelling, watch him. If other symptoms appear, bring him to the vet.

If your cat has no other symptoms, watch him 24 hours (of course, you can take him to the vet if you are concerned). If he spends a second day look extremely tired, it's time to bring him to the vet.

2. Check the temperature of your cat to see if he has a fever.

Use a rectal thermometer to check if your cat has a fever. However, if the cat gets mad, it is better that you stop and let the vet do. The normal temperature of the cat is between 37.5 and 39 degrees C, you should start to worry if its temperature exceeds 39 degrees C and you can be sure he has a fever above 39.5 degrees C. If he has a fever, take your cat to the vet.

A cat reaches fever tends to sleep much more, he will refuse his food and he will present a dull coat with a weird reflection. His nose and ears could be dry and warm to the touch. While touching the ears can be a little specific way to check its temperature, if they look cool, it's probably because the cat has a fever.

3. Watch for changes in habits with regard to his litter tray.

 Pay attention to several things: how many times the cat use the litter box, show the difficulties to do that, is there blood or mucus in her urinalysis or its droppings are hard and compact. If your cat has diarrhea while continuing to go to the litter or if constipated (you'll know because of the presence of hard, dry droppings), bring him to the vet. Passages repeated litter without help or the presence of blood urine should alert you and bring you to immediately examine your cat.

Male cats tend to present more often urinary problems that manifest themselves in the form of problems to let out urine. The cat could get in position to urinate for several minutes or get up and look for a new place to urinate before Crouch again. If you can, check if the cat has urinated (litter is dry or wet?) and if he urinated, check if there is no blood.

4. Watch your cat's appetite.

 If you have noticed that your cat ate a lot or he ate much more that usual, it could be that there something. If the cat does not have interest in food for a whole day, this could be caused by many problems, he eats may be the neighbor, he feels nauseous or it can have kidney problems. On the other hand, if the cat looks hungry all the time, it can also be a sign of a health problem.

If your cat refuses to eat for more than 24 hours, go to your veterinarian to treat the underlying problem doesn't appear complications.

5. Make sure that your cat is not dehydrated.

          Monitor changes in the behavior of your cat with water. The amount of water your cat is drinking depends on the type of food that you give him, he will drink a lot less if you give him wet food, but you will see more often drink if you give him dry food. Many disorders can increase thirst, for example some infections, kidney disease, an overactive thyroid and diabetes. If your cat looks always very thirsty, do check by a veterinarian.

You can also conduct a physical test. Gently grab your cat by the skin between his shoulder blades. Pull the skin upward (but very slowly) and let it fall. If your cat's skin does not immediately return in place, there is a good chance it's dehydrated and you should bring it to the vet.

6. Pay attention to the weight and the silhouette

 of your cat. Any change in your cat's weight is caused by something and should push you to bring her to the vet. A gradual or sudden weight change may indicate a disease. If you are not sure, weigh your cat once a week at home and if your cat continues to lose weight, seek advice from a veterinarian.

In the early stages of diseases such as diabetes or hyperthyroidism, the cat might look to be in good health, but he loses the weight. Ask your veterinarian if you notice that your cat continues to lose weight.

Some diseases, such as cancer of the stomach or heart disease, change the silhouette of the cat unless he lost weight so far. This means that you can feel his ribs and spine more easily, because they will be covered less of fat, but its belly might look more round and swollen. If you have any doubt, consult a vet.

7. Examine the coat of your cat.

 A sick cat doesn't have enough energy to clean. Generally, a cat that previously had a bit bright and well-maintained becomes duller, more matte and his hair becomes more tangled. Although stress may be responsible for a bit dull or changes in its cleaning habits, it could also be that the cat is sick. Consult a vet.

A change in habits of cleaning can also be the result of arthritis. If the cat feels tense and sore, cleaning its fur can be painful. Once more, it is a sign that should bring you to a veterinarian.

The simple and natural cat food

A few simple rules:

-the cat is a carnivore: his power must be based on meat or fish

-the ideal is to be autonomous:

Ensure that permanently his filled Bowl. This avoids many behavior problems: the cat does not come to beg, he feeds his hunger and his pace, he is not a guzzler to make reserves "for the case where until next time".

-the cat needs minerals and vitamins

-the bowl should not be placed next to the litter box

A cat does not eat at the same place where he made his needs; so either he sulked cat (in the best of cases) or he sulked his litter and make its needs elsewhere (understand: where you didn't have it by planned: on the carpet in the entrance, on the couch...)

Commercial food:

I have serious doubts about the quality of these products, whatever their origin and their price. It is very expensive and of dubious composition what they say.

The problems of obesity, tooth decay and cholesterol correspond roughly to the marketing of these products.

· Prepare yourself the grub of the cat: I recommend it WARMLY

About twice a week (15 minutes):

-Cook 2-3 handfuls of rice (a first prize will do) with a clove of garlic cut into small pieces

Garlic is a natural dewormer; in these quantities, it is beneficial for the cat. Cooked, it is perfectly digestible. It also makes hair very soft and shiny.

-Add a few vegetables

For vitamins. Take what you have on hand, the cats eat all vegetables except onions. When I'm in a hurry I use a box first prize in Macedonia (tastes differ according to cats, you realize quickly... mine prefer peas and carrots, but neglects the green beans!)

-Add a source of protein, up to 70% of the grub

I use a big box of tuna, whole sardines (count €2 the kilo, and cats love) or canned, fish when it is on sale at Picard, scraps of meat when we eat...

Here again what you have on hand is fine; on the other hand, vary feeding the cat will make it less difficult!

-Mix everything in a big tuperware, that you will keep in the fridge.

At the time of serving, I sprinkle the bowl of wheat germ.

My cat is healthy, has a beautiful hair, and purring like crazy whenever he gets a sardine!

·  If your cat is already accustomed to the slops or croquettes of trade:

• Observe a phase of transition, as it will refuse at first his Bowl:
•  Gradually mix in small quantities of rice to his usual Bowl.
• Then add the vegetables.
•  Then add the tuna.
•  Finally, phase out the croquettes or commercial dog food.

It is a process that can take several days, depending on the age and the adaptability of your cat: courage, you will succeed! I thus "desensitized" Jack of his kibble, today it will not eat in the bowls of the other cats in the neighborhood)
