Guest guest Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 I've got a number of outdoor kitties with fat little bellies. I've wormed them twice with 'D-Worm' for kittens and puppies. finding that they still seemed big-bellied, I got another product for dogs that was supposed to take care of hookworms, tapeworms, roundworms, and it seems like one other, I can't quite remember...Anyhow, several still have fat bellies, and seem to be otherwise quite healthy. Thanks for any suggestions Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Your best bet is to take them to a vet, The over the counter medications just do not cut it. Besides it is best to know what type of worms you are treating. You can not give round worm medicine to them if they have tape worms, It will only give them stomach issues. And visa versa.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Take them to the vet. Once the worms are gone give them a small bit of garlic in their food every day. Also know that being kept outdoors they are very suceptible to all kinds of parasites, predators, poisons, cars, and cruel people. Kadee Sedtal Build a man a fire and he'll stay warm for a day.

Thanks for > any suggestions > Linda Hi Linda, did you wait two weeks inbetween deworming? Apparently you do it once for exsisting worms, and the 2nd round (two weeks later) gets everything in the larval stage. Revolution for kitties under 5 lbs kills everything parasitic on kittens (even ear mites). I have had two kittens dewormed with Strongid and they STILL have fat bellies! I might have some extra Revolution for kittens under 5 lbs I will check! Have a great day! Jennifer minimalisticliving/ > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 You can also use Paraway Plus (from Unicity) on cats and kittens. It's all natural and is very effective. You would use 1 capsule for every 5 lbs. You would do this everyday for 10 days. JennyK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 I haven't had a critter with a problem like this for awhile, but if/when I do, I will read up on it again. One thing I remember from a natural-health book for dogs and cats is that they are just going to have some parasites, and that normal low level of parasites won't hurt them as much as the poisons trying to get rid of ALL of the parasites. (kinda like we are *never* going to get rid of all the bacteria in our environment, and we're doing so much harm with all the " anti-bacterial " products.) Baby critters have more worms, and they generally grow out of them. Something like that. A decade ago, I acquired a year-old dog that really hadn't been cared for at all. She had lots and lots of worms. I kept giving her extract of green black-walnut hulls. It worked very well, but had to do it at about the same intervals as the chemical drugs, and had to keep doing it for a long time before she finally got healthy enough to get them down to a tolerable level. Have also used diatomaceous earth mixed in moist food (so they don't inhale it). Joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Aha, very interesting ideas. Do you know how to make the extract? I happen to have black walnut trees. Also happen to have the diatomaceous earth, do you recall dosage?

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Shoot, I just use garlic and basil and it works wonders. Cody was dying from worms when I got him and now my boy is so big, healthy and strong that it's hard to believe that he's the same pup that I got over a year ago.
