Hi Cat People
I think my cat has tapeworm (i've seen the segments near his tail), and probably other worms too, as he eats lots of mice and rabbits etc. Can I order a single dose wormer online? I've tried the Bob Martin ones from the pet shop and they have to have so many doses and he hates them; i can't get them into him; i used to live in ireland and i was able to get a single red pill from the vet which treated all worms.

Also, how likely is it that we have picked up taPEWORM from the cat? I have an over the counter worm treatment for the kids (who are preschoolers and not the best at handwashing and eat biscuits off the floor) but it doesn't include tapeworm. i am now vacuuming the house and washing the bedding; any other advice?

Highly unlikely the children have picked up tapeworm as it is host specific. Roundworm, however, can be a problem. Your small red tablet is milbemax it is prescription only here, but drontal cat is not.

Thank you Lonecat. I've seen ads for Drontal, i'll order some.
