Worms - homeopathic remedy (refers)

Hi. I have several cats and I suspect they all have worms. I have seen the

little white rice looking worms on the but of one of the cats, and I'm

assuming if one has worms they all do. And as I have dogs, I wonder if the

dogs can have the same type of worms? I haven't seen any in the dog's poop,

but I have in the cat litter box.

 

So, is there a safe, homeopathic remedy for this type of worm? Or worms in

general? I know I can use fresh ground pumpkin seed in the food for my dogs

but some of my cats are too finicky and won't eat their food if it has the

pumpkin seeds in it.

 

 

 

 

Renee - Those white 'rice' are tape worm eggs. That will mean that your

cats are infested! Yes, and can be passed to dogs IF they ingest via/through a

substance i.e. infected feces (eating it), infected food link

(mouse/rat/rabbit etc). To pass on has to be ingested via another organism.

 

OK. Don't fool with this. Get thee to the vet and get the whole bunch of

em treated pdq. AFTER treatment then can try for control via homeopathic

methods but for this infestation treat by alopathy, and do it quickly, like

pronto.

 

Tape worms are no good for the animal. They attach to the lining of the gut

and multiply. They pull the animal down, which in turn can/will lead to

other ills. Totally unfair to the animal and not good, loving, animal keeping.

A tape worm can grow to several feet long - google it up. These worm

infestations can be passed onto humans...!

 

In addition, round worms, which infest dogs and cats (both, though slightly

different types of round specis to each: Toxocara canis and Toxascaris;

Toxocara cati and Toxascaris) are highly dangerous to humans. Please note,

that I

am referring to round worms here - the larvae can be passed through infected

animal, infected play area...! An infection can lead to embryonic worm

infestation in the liver, heart, lungs, gut and eyes. Blindness in children is

often caused by the embryonic round worm. In the human, the worm does not

develop to adult, but the egg/grub/embryo, burrows into the tissue and

thereafter leads to the problems! Cats and dogs MUST be wormed on a regular

basis.

Worming is easy and gets rid of the worms - worming medication should be

bought from your vet, Drontal is good. Those worming meds bought over the

counter are NOT good. They only get rid of the adult worm and not the larvae,

embryonic worm. You need to get rid of the whole bang shoot of em, adult and

larvae: only drontal (or similar) does that. So don't go the cheapo route,

please. ANY faeces should be picked up and BURNT. Do NOT bury dog/cat faeces,

ever. By the way, infected faeces can remain infective, viable, in the ground

for more than THREE years. Most people are totally unaware of these

problems.

 

Always wash hands and do not kiss dogs and cats - their noses and tongues

clean their bums...!! Stroke, pat, hug, do not kiss. Wash hands. Pick up and

BURN faeces.

 

Hope this has clarified the worm, tape and round species.

Good info. A few years back I took a stool sample into the vet to check for

worms and though I forget now what type he said they were, he said " oh, it's

very common for cats to have these worms. It comes from drinking stale water

that sits in the bottom of potted plants " and sold me some pills. These

worms look like the same type as before, and he didn't call them tape worms

I remember that much. I have been looking for a worm in a stool sample so I

can take it in to be checked, but haven't found one yet--though I have seen

those

on the but of one cat. And I figure if one has it, they all do, and probably

the dogs, and us. So we will all have to go on a regime. The dogs and us

will be much easier but you know how fussy cats are. So I suppose the

stronger vet pills would be better just to get a handle on this and then put

a preventative measure into action.

 

Thanks

Rice looking worms are actually pin worms and are the

easiest to get rid of. Children often times also have

them. When you get itchy rectums at night it comes

from the worms crawling out and trying to get back in.

 

Tape worms are flat in shape almost a ribbon type look

to them.

Hi there !

 

You can try homoeo medicine Cina - 200c - 3 drops in the mouth in empty stomach

for 10 days. You don't have to think of the problem.

Missed this post Jenny. Yes, adult tapes are flat, just like pieces

of tape but, the eggs, are exactly like to grains of rice. Check out

the info sites I posted. Have seen these grains. Had an infestation

here. Was horrible. Cat had em crawling out of her, were flat, like

pieces of tape. Dog had the grains of rice in her poops. Her poops

then started to throw out more eggs, was vile. Collected everything

poop wise and took to the vet for 'immediate' incineration. Best way

to control em not getting into anything else, like mice etc out in

the field! (I always take the faeces to the special bins for

disposal, where they are collected for incineration.)

 

The infestation happened cause the cat would hunt for rabbits...bring

em home for everyone in the house! Dog thought this wonderful.

Well, we ended up with heavily infected/infested animals. Sigh.

Might have guessed - worms are one of my nightmares!

 

Pin worms you refer to are in reality thread worms, about an inch

long. Children very often pick em up, highly contageous. Insist

kiddoes Wash Hands. Pin worms as such infect horses. (That's my

take on it all - had to investigate this all out once. Dealing with

animals, horses, dogs, cats and small furries generally means dealing

with worms...yuck <smile>)

Ingesting fleas during the grooming process is one of the most common ways that

pets get tape worms. The cyst stage of the tape worm is in flea and once

ingested the worm develops in the pet's digestive tract.

[Guest guest]

My appologies but I HAD to jump in on this one

 

I grew up on a farm.

We tried every herbal remedy you can think of to treat worms.

 

Some worms respond to this in hatched form, most egg sacks simply do

not.

 

It is best to go to the vet

However, if you simply can't do that, then go to your local Vet

Supply or Feed Store

 

However, DO NOT GIVE YOUR ANIMAL IVERMECTIN if it hasn't been on

regular heartworm treatment... Ivermectin kills pre-adult heartworm

and a whole bunch of other parasites... and your animal will be VERY

SICK if you give them Ivermectin when they are infected with Adult

Heartworm...

 

So... if you have been to the vet within the last year to 6 months &

have stayed regular on heartworm treatment, then you can do this...

in addition, you can swap the expensive heartworm treatment (also

made from Ivermectin) to straight Ivermectin... a few exceptions are

dogs that are collies, if they are already on HeartGuard & don't have

siezures, then they are fine to swap. IF they aren't then PLEASE TALK

TO YOUR VET FIRST

 

Ivermectin:

In the mid-1980's, ivermectin was introduced as probably the most

broad-spectrum anti-parasite medication ever. It is effective against

most common intestinal worms (except tapeworms), most mites, and some

lice. It is not effective against fleas, ticks, flies, or flukes. It

is effective against larval heartworms (the " microfilariae " that

circulate in the blood) but not against adult heartworms (that live

in the heart and pulmonary arteries).

 

The most common uses in small animal practice for ivermectin would

include:

 

Monthly prevention of heartworm infection

Treatment of ear mite situations

Clearing heartworm larvae in active heartworm infection

Treatment of sarcoptic, notoedric or demodectic mange

It should be noted that doses of ivermectin used for prevention and

treatment of heartworm disease are approximately 50 times lower than

doses used for other parasites

 

 

Then for tapeworm:

Praziquantel

BRAND NAME: DRONCIT

Available as injectable & 23 mg tablets for cats or 34 mg tablets for

dogs

 

HOW THIS MEDICATION IS USED

Praziquantel is primarily used against parasites known as Cestodes

(tapeworms). The common tapeworm of dogs and cats, Dipylidium

caninum, is the usual target though praziquantel is also effective

against less common types of tapeworms such as Taenia species and the

more dangerous Mesocestoides species. Praziquantel is also effective

against flukes.

 

A single treatment of praziquantel should clear a Dipylidium caninum

infection though a second treatment is sometimes recommended if it is

felt that immediate reinfection is likely. Immediate reinfection

might take place if the pet's environment has a heavy uncontrolled

flea problem.

 

 

 

>>>>>>>>>>.. IT IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT that you go thru your yard,

locate feces. DO NOT TOUCH IT, use a shovel & wear gloves with long-

sleeve shirt... DESTROY FECES by Burning it!!!! <<<<<<<

 

There are small children that have been infected by tapeworm. While

this is rare, there was a recent removal of a fully adult tapeworm

from the intestine of a 2 month old baby....

 

Tapeworms look like grains of rice in the stool.

That is actually a tape-worm egg packet.

Tapeworm eggs mature into Fleas.

Fleas get on your animal

Animal chews at itch & swallows the flea

Animal gets tapeworm

 

a tapeworm is an alternative life-cycle for a flea larvea

 

Similar to a heart-worm being an alternative life-cycle for a

mosquito larvea

 

 

It is possible, but HIGHLY unlikely that this infestation is

PinWorms... in the thousands of animals I have handled in my life, it

is RARE, really Rare to see PinWorms unless you are dealing with

Horses, Cattle, Rabbits, Pigs, Rodents. I honestly can't even recall

a single case of Pinworm (threadworm, Syphacia worms, Enterobius

worms) in any dog. We have only owned @ 10 cats, none of the cats

ever got them & I have not heard of cats having them... I suppose

just a human could rarely have a tapeworm, so could a dog or cat

rarely have a pinworm... especially if that animal ate rodents.

Although our dogs regularly ate wild rabbits.....

 

Pinworm infection (in humans) is a large intestine infection caused

by a small, white worm called a pinworm, seatworm, or threadworm. The

medical name for the pinworm is Enterobius vermicularis, also called

a helminth. The pinworm is about the length of a staple. It lives for

the most part within the rectum of humans. While an infected person

is asleep, female pinworms leave the intestines through the anus and

deposit eggs on the skin around the anus. Because pinworm infection

is caused by Enterobius vermicularis, the infection is also called

enterobiasis (or helminthiasis).

 

I also found this:

Hosts -- Humans are the only common host of E. vermicularis. Dogs

and cats are not hosts of pin worm. Other species of pinworm infect

horses, mules, zebra, sheep, goat, antelope, rabbits, rodents,

elephant, and primates.

Distribution -- Pin worm infections are common in humans throughout

the world, but survive best in the temperate zones.

Life Cycle -- The adult worms feed on the mucosa of the large

intestine. When females are fully gravid they migrate from the anus

and deposit fully embryonated eggs in the perianal region. These eggs

are the infective stage and when ingested by man pass through the

stomach to the duodenum where they hatch. The immature worms remain

in the small intestine undergoing 2 molts. On becoming adults they

migrate to the large intestine where the females attach to the mucosa

until they are fully gravid. A single female may contain up to 20,000

fully embryonated eggs (eggs with fully developed juveniles); the

average is about 10,000.

 

 

--- so with that as evidence, I am going to conclude that the

likelyhood of this being a pinworm infestation is HIGHLY UNLIKELY

 

and almost certainly you are dealing with TapeWorms.

 

Get some Droncit!!!!

Rid the area of all feces

Put down Borax in your yard for flea control

Put Borax/Salt mix in any carpeted area in your home... wait 72 hours

& vacume, then repeat, repeat, repeat

 

Also, consider a flea-treatment for all animals......
