...until i can get him wormed? I know he has tapeworm (yuk, gross), i have seen the segments. i have 3 young children, the youngest just 6 weeks and i don't want to expose them to worms, tape- or otherwise, any more than i can help. I posted yesterday about getting wormer over here. We used to live in ireland and the worming pill was very small and red and he didn't even mind the taste, so i could worm him regularly. I just tried drontal and the pill is massive; there is no way he will take it; i have the scratches to prove it. I can't hide it in food as it is so big he can eat around it, and he won't eat food that is contaminated by it anyway; he wouldn't eat the bit that had touched the pill, so grinding it up is not an option. My MIL is going to post me a worming tablet from the vet in ireland, but it will be a few days before it arrives; should i make the cat stay outside until he has been wormed? Or is that cruel and unnecessary? He is looking at me sadly through the window......
