My kitten has worms & coronavirus. Can she roam safely indoors?

Indoor cats are less likely to get fleas but it does happen. If you have other pets in the house, the risk increases. It's up to you if you want her on treatment or not. Yes, she does need to be tested for worms, Felv/FIV and she needs to be current on her FVRCP (it's like a cat distemper). YOu can carry things like viruses in on your clothes. The vaccine is highly effective and safe. I hope this helps.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Do not allow yourself or your daughter to handle Minnie's stool. That is the only way you both could contract worms. You would have to get the cats stool in your mouth. The kitten and a stool sample need to go to the Vet this week. They can deworm her, start her kitten vaccines and provide you with a schedule on when to come back. Also since you are pregnant you shouldn't be handling cat stool due to toxoplasmosis risks. Good luck

Coronavirus is not a concern wth adult cats, but FIV/FeLV is. I would make sure she is tested for those diseases and is tested for parasites (internal and external) prior to introducing them. If all that checks out, and she is deemed healthy by a vet, then there is little chance of her giving anything to your indoor cats. I hope that helps and all is well with Little chick and the other two.

There are several parasites that are zoonotic (transmissible to people) that may be afflicting her right now. Therefore to be safe and preventative, I would recommend locking her out of your room until you can get her tested and get a clean bill of health status for your kitty. : ) The likelihood of you actually getting infested with worms is low if you practice good hygiene; however, if you want to be 100% certain, just don't allow her on the bed anymore until you are sure. And for the record, there were only a few cases of people getting infested with Roundworms, so the chances of transmission for that worm is very low. However, there can be other worms or parasites present in her stool that are microscopic so you would not be able to tell they are there until her stool is examined at the vet.

Yes, adult worms will not survive in the environment but the eggs can survive in fecal matter so be sure to clean up after any accidents. Take a sample of the worms for identification to be sure she gets the most appropriate treatment as soon as possible

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It is very important to keep her separated from your other cats for now. Good job that you are not letting them to be together. Once you de-worm her and put on a flea/tick product, she should be OK to meet your other cats. Also, if Felix is going to be an outdoor cat you should get her vaccinated. Ask your vet to examine the eye - some kittens will scratch themselves and cause small skin wounds, that may be the case. She looks healthy and very happy on the photos you posted :)

Yes it ia sbsolutely ok to treat her for fleas. I would use a spot on such as Advantage or frotnline Plus or similar spot ons. and you can get some Pyrantel Pamoate from your veterinarian to worm her (it is a liquid, that does not taste terrible) or a Drontal for cats tablet.
