Help needed, worms and constipation?Hi everyone, I wormed and flea'd one of my cats around 3/4 days ago(both products being natural ) around 2 days ago i found one worm on his tail. The next day he seemed a little quiet, but he is a VERY friendly laid back cat anyway. Last night he was not laying down in his usual VERY stretched out position  and looked a little uncomfy, so i went over and straight away could see something was bothering him, i felt him all over and he growled, meowed and even hissed at one point at first i thought it was his leg that was bothering him, but he has been asleep all last night(except he woke up at around 5am like he normally does, he normally lets me know he needs the toilet and i let him out, but i got up to find he had been for a wee in the house something he has NEVER done) and day, he has gotten up to eat and drink a couple of times, his stomach has bloated right up tonight and i can see he is quite distressed. If he hasn't improved hes off to vets ASAP.Im just hoping its nothing serious and wondered if anyone had any ideas on what it could be? Im hoping and guessing that he has had a big parasite infestation and the products are shoving it all out at once...but he hasnt been for a number 2 yet..so im wondering if this is all it could be?

Poor boy I think it may be best to get him checked over by the vet. Which products did you use to worm and de-flea him? The only products that really seem to work are the ones the vet prescribes. I've never tried any natural products though Please keep us updated on his condition.........hope he feels better soon. |

Thanks Mags, I use 'Four seasons anti-parasitic' and 'Flea-away' from www.catsanddogs-online.com The ingredients in the wormer are - hibicus, gentain root, ginger root, thyme, clove,natural salts Flea- hibicus,quassia,ACV,lavender,tea-tree,eucalyptus and lemongrass. They also both contain a hollistic anti parasitic aswell as the other stuff. I have strong beliefs about the use of chemicals so dread going to the vets as i can not find a natural vet in the surrounding area. Fingerscrossed there is a wormy poo in the morning |

I know for humans that sticking a clove of garlic up your backpassage works...but i do not know enough to do this on a one year old cat!  |

Update: Hes doing much better this morning, i woke up to find he had done a very large SMELLY dry no.2 in sox's litter tray(no worms though like suspected ), his stomach has gone down alot but still a little bloated, he jumped on my knee and had a cuddle this morning, then he came outside with me. Hes still a little grumbly, i guess i'm just going to keep a close eye on him for now |

This is the first time i have used them, curious as to how well they are going to work. But, id rather use products with no side-effects and if i can avoid using chemicals i will do. |

I must say I’ve got a bit of a problem with the “if it’s natural” then it must be better for you than “chemicals”. Just because something is natural doesn’t mean to say it’s any better for you or safer than chemicals. |
