I was lucky up until this year. Neither had ever had worms in their lives. The cat & the dog have both had tapeworms in the last month. The fleas have been terrible. Even the Advantage/Advantix is not working as well. And no matter what you do you can’t control people who won’t control their pets that run loose in your yard bringing their treasures with them. Tapeworms are flat & segmented. I saw it when I took the dog out & the cat was getting thin. Vet said they came from eating a flea.
Yes. We’ve got one neighbor who has this cat ... it’s driving me insane and my poor Joey as well! It’s a Siamese. Never been neutered. I’m sure it has not had any shots. It’s thin. It’s fur is dull. And it is the nastiest little piece of work you’ve ever seen! It sprays all over everyone’s cars and outdoor furniture. It fights with my cats and because it’s dirty, gave Joey an infection on his head where he wounded him. It’s a gorgeous animal or at least it could be ... but the owners just don’t give a rip! Our one neighbor across the street spoke to them about it and they just ... so what? What’s your point? I called Animal Control and have borrowed the trap but this cat is TOO smart and refuses to go in after any sardines or anything at all! I’m just stymied.
