parasites in cats:

tapeworms can infect any cat, it also sounds so disgusting. This is because tapeworms are real survival experts who inject often via so-called "intermediate hosts" such as birds, mice and rabbits in the body of the "end host" cat.

sees the cycle of the tapeworm grossly simplified as follows: A mouse, for example, eating a fallen apple that is unfortunately next to a piece of excrement. In the faeces were eggs, which now reach into the circulation of the mouse. Once in the mouse, the tape worm looks in a pretty special place for further development (such as brain or liver). There he grows up, until an unsuspecting cat will one day catch the mouse, it eats up and takes the tape-worm-in-law in her body. The tapeworm is now almost fully grown and settled in the small intestine of the cat, where it is supplied with fresh food always good. Where did your cat get

tapeworms

• from feeding on mice and other intermediate hosts of the tapeworm.
• from sniffing / licking at sites with infected animal faeces (eg Hundeklos).
• from close contact with other animals that have the tapeworm.
• tapeworms can be transmitted from fleas .

How do we realize that the cat has a tapeworm (symptoms)?

• tapeworm eggs and tapeworm pieces can be found in the feces and around the anus.
• The cat shows unusual feeding behavior. For example, hunger and appetite - often alternating with each other.
• A emaciation is evident.
• It has dull coat.
• and severe itching around the anus.

Why are worms dangerous band?

• Apart from the fact that tape worms evade their hosts, minerals and food, they can lead to anemia and constipation.
• also release some tapeworms metabolically hostile substances that can harm the cat.
• particularly for young cats (called kittens) can have serious consequences because of tapeworms of nutrient deficiency and dehydration (water shortage).

How to combat tapeworms?

• This can be prevented well: Year-round outdoor living Cats should be wormed at 4x yearly. Deworming can be purchased at very low prices to the vet and the cat will be administered at home. (How do you give your cat a worming paste, you can read here .)
• you put in your cat be a worm infestation, you should them from children and other animals cancel separately until it has been wormed and undoubtedly worm-free.
• your favorite places and her litter should be cleaned and sterilized all the blankets and pillows in the house once washed through thoroughly.
