Cats cost money  -  and I still don't have any.  

I'm pretty sure Suzi has worms now. Didn't have them at the vet, or so they said.  

My brain wants to break if I think about it too much.   What to do, what to do. 

Well, I guess I'll go do work. That's what to do.

Why do you think she has worms? Did they do a fecal sample test?

might be tapeworms. they're spread by fleas, so if she has fleas, that's a high possibility. every summer i have to give newman a dose of drontal to kill them, because even with the advantage, he'll still get a few on him that live long enough to give him a tapeworm. they break off in little pieces and they look like dried rice. it's gross.

i've heard that giving them tobacco kills the worms, but i've never tried.

There is always OTC medicine. It's the route I went when the vets couldn't come back with a response that he had worms. I knew he did, I saw he did and yet the vets did not.

Pet stores sell them and they usually come in capsule form. Make sure to follow the directions (obviously) if that's the route you decide to go. In the end it worked and he didn't have worms anymore.

I will say that it should be a last resort and if you aren't sure what specific type of worm your cat has, try to get one that covers as many as possible.
