Treatment of parasitic worms in cats: Fortunately, there are many products on the market to treat the more common types of worms such as tapeworm, roundworm, and hookworm. Oral tablets and topical products which are applied to the back of the neck are the most common.
Symptoms to look out for include: Treatment and Prevention. The type of treatment that is best for your cat will depend on the type of worm and the severity of the infestation. Isolation: Keep your infected cat away from other animals and others in your home to prevent the spread of worms. Litter boxes should also be cleaned. If you have multiple cats, keep one litter box in the isolated area where your sick cat is located and don't allow other pets to use it or go nearby.
