What are these rice-like pellets my cat leaves on my bed?

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! If you are finding white rice sized segments around Katniss's tail then I suspect you are seeing tape worm segments. Cats get tape worm from fleas and from hunting. You can always post a picture to confirm. I would deworm her with a product that gets tapeworm. Below is a link of a good dewormer or contact your Vet in the morning. https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=3464 I wish Katniss the best!

It sounds like Saphira may have worms! If they look like grains of rice, then they are tapeworms. Tapeworms require praziquantel to kill, which is prescription only from the vet. You will have to take her in to the vet. I would see if you can borrow money from family and friends to afford the vet, you can see if you vet accepts payment plans, you can apply for Care Credit online, or you can see if there is a low cost clinic in your area. I hope this helps!

I am sorry to hear about Hunter! I would recommend bringing her into the vet. It sounds like she could have tapeworms https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951442 which they get from ingesting fleas. Your vet can also prescribe an effective flea preventative for her and your other pets. All pets in your house need to be on an effective flea preventative which your vet can prescribe and your home likely needs to be treated either by a professional or with a product such as Knockout spray or fogger. Washing all bedding in hot water and vacuuming all floors (including wood) and furniture to help remove any flea eggs in the environment as well.

They look like tapeworm segments so she should be dewormed for tapeworms. She should also be treated for fleas as animals get tapeworms from ingesting fleas. Your vet should be able to prescribe a dewormer to treat.

You need to treat Bellatrix for fleas because fleas transmit tapeworms. Disinfect your home as well. Wash her bedding in hot soapy water, and vacuum the furniture and carpet surfaces. You can use a spray to kill fleas in the house, such as Indorex, or a flea bomb would work well to kill the fleas in the home. Tapeworms do not cause discomfort to the cat unless it's a severe infestation, so you don't need to do anything for her. Yes, I would change your sheets. Best of luck.

These grain like little things could be tapeworm segments. It could be that Luna has tapeworms. I would take her into the vet. The vet can diagnose if she does have tapeworms, and can prescribe praziquantel to treat it. Praziquantel is a prescription only medication, which is why you need to take her into the vet. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

I'm assuming you mean your cat has intestinal worms. That requires a deworming treatment which you can get OTC, and I recommend getting him Panacur. It's available at a pet store. He will need another deworming treatment two weeks after the first one to kill all the worms. Make sure you wash your hands thoroughly after handing him and cleaning his litter box to prevent you from getting them. In terms of sleeping with you, it's fine for him to sleep with you as you can only get the worms if you accidentally ingested contaminated feces. If you are talking about fleas, I can give you a flea treatment program for him. First, I would give him Capstar. It's a one time pill that starts killing fleas within 30 minutes. Then follow up with a spot on treatment, such as Advantage or Revolution. This is a treatment that has to be used once a month. You will also have to disinfect the environment. Wash his bedding in hot soapy water, and vacuum the furniture and carpet surfaces. You can use a spray to kill fleas in the house, such as Indorex, or a flea bomb would work well to kill the fleas in the home.
