Yikes! I found tapeworm segments coming out of one of our new kittens. They've had advocate with their first injections, and haven't been allowed out yet, so I assumed we were flea and worm proof for a while. But obviously kitten must have caught it at her breeders, and hasn't been tapeworm treated.
I've booked both kittens in for a treatment tomorrow. Can anyone advise me on best type of cleaning to set about now? Do dried tapeworm segments stay..'active' to reinfect kittens? Will a 60degree wash be enough to kill anything off? Should I dettol the floor?
We are new to cat ownership, and whilst my own kids poo, wee, vomit etc doesn't phase me, I do feel quite grossed out, much as I love our new kittens!
