Hello! I suspect my cat has some type of worm and wanted to ensure the medicines I will provide are a safe combination. He is treated approximately every 6 weeks with Advantage Multi; in case this is tapeworms I would also like to treat with Drontal.
The Advantage Multi and Drontal contain different ingredients that do not negatively interact in the body, so they are safe to give together. Drontal usually comes in a size-specific bottle for cats and will have the recommended dosage labeled on the side. I recommend only using the Drontal as stated by the manufacturer. A link to their website is below: https://www.bayerdvm.com/show.aspx/productdetail/drontal-tablets When it comes to treating for parasites, it's always best to do so in consultation with your veterinarian. A vet can easily test for the type of parasites present and will be able to give you the best treatment options and prevention advice for the future. They can also make sure that you are not giving medication unnecessarily, or in a potentially dangerous way. I hope that helps and all is well with Jet.

My Orange tabby has little worms in his stool. They are less than a 1/2 inch long, very thin, and white in color. What type of worms are they in can they be treated with OTC medication?
Hello and thanks for using Boop by Petco! Sounds like you are seeing tapeworms or more specifically tapeworm segments. The tapeworm stays inside the intestinal tract and the segments break off from the adult worm. These segments are loaded with tapeworm eggs and this is how they spread tapeworms to other hosts. Most common tapeworm is from ingesting fleas that are on the pet. The tapeworm eggs then hatch inside the intestinal tract and develop into adult worms and the process starts all over. Other tapeworms can come from pets eating certain prey animals outside like mice. Yes an OTC medication is available. Praziquantal is the actual drug that you want to use and it is available OTC in many forms. Pet stores usually have these products. One thing to remember is you must use flea/tick medicine on your cat which will kill fleas/ticks and stop the transmission of tapeworms. If your cat goes outside, this is critical and most outside cats should be dewormed with a broad spectru
