My kitten has worms and pees on the bed. Should I take him to the vet?

It sounds like Boots may have intestinal parasites. There are many different kinds, but we usually lump them into 3 groups: round/hook/whip worms look like spaghetti, tapeworms look like flat noodles or small grains of rice, and coccidia or giardia are other types that are not visibly seen. You can try an OTC dewormer that treats the specific type of worm you are seeing and make sure it is repeated in a few weeks as directed on the label, but I recommend that Boots go to a vet. She is way overdue for kitten vaccines and a rabies shot (which is required in all cats and dogs by law - even if they will never ever step foot outside). There are many nasty cat viruses that can cause illness and even death. Your vet can also test a fecal sample to determine the most appropriate treatment timeline for her individual parasite(s).

It sounds like Dexter could have a urinary tract infection. This is common in male cats and can cause them to urinate outside of the litter box. You should def take him into the vet today. Sometimes male cats can get crystals in their bladder secondary to the urinary tract infection and can become blocked (not able to urinate). This condition can be life threatening. So best to get him started on antibiotics ASAP. The vet will probably do a urinalysis to be sure he has a bladder infection.

No, this is not a normal effect and this won't be caused by the worms. The worms you treated Finch for were in his intestines, and it sounds like he has a problem with his bladder. He may be suffering from feline idiopathic cystitis or bladder stones. I'd have him seen by a vet today for blood work and a urinalysis. If he does have one of the medical illnesses I mentioned, the vet can treat him for it. Please take him into a vet today. I hope this helps!

It is not uncommon for kittens to have intestinal parasites. This can cause inflammation and soft stool. Monitor the litter box and submit a stool sample to your vet if Lucy has soft stool or is straining to defecate. She may need to be dewormed. This should be repeated in 3-4 weeks to confirm clearance of any intestinal parasites.

Intestinal worms are very common in kittens, and usually quite easy to treat :) If you are seeing them in the litter box, it's likely that they are either roundworms or tapeworms. If you can, try and put some of the worms in a plastic bag to show your vet - he/she can prescribe an appropriate dewormer to get rid of them. If Snow is not eating anything and has a fever, I would be concerned that something more serious may be wrong - worms do not normally cause these symptoms. It would be best to take him to the vet today for an exam. Your vet may recommend blood work or other testing to help diagnose the problem so that he can be properly treated.

It could be that Mostafa is suffering from a UTI, and that's why he urinated on the bed. I would have him seen by a vet today. Your vet can do routine blood tests and a urinalysis to see if he does have a UTI or bladder stones. If he has a UTI, he will need antibiotics to treat it. Bladder stones may need to be removed surgically, or can be managed with diet.

Hi. Poor sprinkles. I would recommend waiting for a medication from the veterinarian. The medications coming from the veterinarian will work a lot better than over the counter medications in addition to getting a correct diagnosis. I would however try to get in somewhere tomorrow. Good luck
