"How To Tell If Your Cat Has Worms" - "How To Tell If Your Dog Has Worms"

Unfortunately, not all cat & dog worm symptoms or signs of worms in cats or dogs can be seen with the naked eye.  Some cat parasites and dog parasites can only be detected by microscopic examination of a fecal extract to identify cat worm eggs or dog worm eggs that are present in fecal matter.

Symptoms of worms in cats and dogs that are visible can include, but not be limited to: feline or canine hair loss, cat diarrhea, dog diarrhea, cat constipation, dog constipation, feline anemia or canine anemia.

Your cat or dog may exhibit other signs of health problems such as: dull hair coat, coughing, vomiting, blood in stool, swollen stomach and appetite changes.

Left untreated, the dehydration caused by intestinal parasites and worms will weaken your pet's immune system, making your pet more susceptible to other infections and pet diseases.

Over time, intestinal worms and parasites can leech the life out of your cat or dog, causing your pet to become too weak to sustain life.

Additionally, some cat parasite infections and dog parasite infections can be tranfered from pets to humans.
