My cat has them 😫 I've treated her with pancur that I had for the puppy and will get stronger spot on stuff tomorrow when the shops re open.

How long will take until they go?? She must have got them from of the millions of mice she catches.

Cats don't get threadworms. If you have seen small bits that look like grains of rice in faeces these are tapeworm segments. Things usually vomited up that look like bits of string are roundworms.
Please do not use dog products for cats not all of them are suitable for cats and some can have fatal consequences.

Take her to the vet to get weighed and get treatment from them. OTC doesn't work.

Please dont use products for dogs on cats. Thats a bit daft and potentially dangerous.

And if she's a hunter she needs a different spot on treatment every 3 months. You need to get on top of that.

It's a wormer we bought for the dog but it's also for use on kittens, cats and dogs. I wouldn't give him a dog only treatment.

They're tape worms, not sure why I thought thread! I've got the right treatment today. I'll keep on top of it now I know he gets them.
