My Sister Just Got A Puppy About A Week Ago. And Found Out Today That He Has Worms. We Also Have A Pet Cat. And I Was Wondering If Cats Can Catch Dog Worms.I Already Googled It But I Couldn’t Find Anything. If Someone Can Help Me That Would But Great (Thanks For All Your Help!)

I left my 4-month old kitten with friends (and their 4 cats) last week while I was out of town. He’s been back in my apt for two days, and now I’m noticing worms in his stool. I thought he was healthy when I dropped him off at my friends – could he have picked up worms from their cats that quickly?
I have to leave town again this weekend. I’ll try to get him treated before I leave, but I assume all the cats will need to be treated? Is it ok to leave him with the same cats again?
Thanks for any advice.

This is serious and I’m scared. I came back from college for the spring break and was around my cat. She later turned up having worms. She was on bed and even rubbed against my face. Now I’m scared I could have them too. I have been losing weight, but that could be from stress (finals) and other sickness. But now I have a strange feeling in my throat and I’m scared. It feels like something is stuck in it or maybe crawling up. I have bad allergies so I have a lot of mucus. But I’m so afraid it is something because I have had this weird feeling all day. Can someone help me I’m really afraid. Can I die?

I have a Shih Tzu. I keep him in doors except when he goes out to go potty. When he meets other dogs, only two of them, I don’t let him do the sniff thing. There are no mosquitoes or fleas. He takes Comfortis for fleas and has for the last 3 months. I have been told he can get them from mosquitoes but I get eaten alive and I haven’t sense we moved here. Here at the apartment complex where I have moved you have to pick up the poo when your cat or dog goes out side and I see them in his poo. If it wasn’t bad enough we have to pick it up now I see little worms. YUCK!!!!!

if a cat has worms can they die

Your cat is FINE. If you ever looked at your own ‘poo’ after you go, you would notice that if you eat chicken for several days in a row, it gets lighter, if you eat beef for several days in a row, it gets darker. I’m betting you gave you cat a different flavor of cat food … FISH … with no ‘beef, lamb, pork, or chicken’ to give it any color. That with the ‘corn’ they put in catfood for ’starch’ can give a cat ’snow-colored poo.’ It’s scary if you don’t know WHY, but that’s the reason. Try giving your cat a ‘different flavor’ of cat food every day, and her ‘poo’ will be a more ‘neutral light brown’ … but don’t worry about white … it’s a NATURAL coloring from the cat food she’s getting.

Okay I don’t know what people are saying here but if it’s small and white like a piece of rice, it’s a tapeworm. If they are really long it might be ringworm.
No need to be alarmed, LOTS of animals get this and it’s easily removed. You get tapeworm when the pet accidentally swallows a dead flea (when they are grooming and scratching themselves)…DO NOT GIVE THEM THE STUFF YOU BUY AT GROCERY STORES OR PET STORES!! Sometimes pets have bad seizures from those. Get your deworming medication from a vet.
