We have 9 cats and I have droncet on hand, but I am not sure of the dosage

How common is tape worm in humans? My cat has tape worms and I’m worried I may have got them. I have been checking my poo poo. What to look for and will they be laying dormant inside my poo poo or on the outside
Thanks, scared and worried.
Also, I was checking my poo poo with a fork and the phone rang.. Then uncle came and took the fork ( as it was on the floor in bathroom ) and washed it off and put it back with the rest in the drawer.. Should we throw all the forks away? Could the eggs be on that fork still after washing it?
But answer, I have not seen any worms in my poo poo.. Cat is going to vet tomorrow – Thanks

I have a 6 month old male manx, his name is Achilles and he’s my pride and joy. He’s also a cabbit, meaning his hind legs are longer than his front legs, so he compensates by hopping on his hind legs instead of walking on them step by step. For those of you that aren’t familiar with Manx Syndrome, I’ll try to give as much information about the disease and it’s effect on Achilles.

The manx gene is extremely dominate when it comes to mating for pure-breeds, so it is actually very dangerous to mate two short-tail/no tail manxes; this is what causes Manx Syndrome. (It’s confusing to me how Achilles was even born with the disease since his mother wasn’t even a manx; only his father.) I’ve heard it’s very similar to Spina Bifida. Since Achilles is a no tail manx, he has a shortened spine and specific vertebrae in his spine can be linked to his weakened organs, especially his digestion, bowels, and bladder control. He has no problem knowing when he has to go and always makes it to the litter box, it’s only finishing his business he struggles with. I’m not sure if it’s weakened muscles that give him trouble pushing out his stools or if he can even feel anything back there, but I always find little turds near or around the litter box after he jumps out because he thinks he finished. Other than a nasty case of tapeworm that I immediately treated when he was given to me, Achilles has had no other health problems.

I took him to the vet to have him tested because his father was diagnosed with feline AIDS; fortunately, Achilles’s test came back negative. The veterinarian was very puzzled by his appearance and when I asked him if Manx Syndrome was a progressive or regressive disease, he honestly replied that my cat was the first manx he’d ever seen and knew nothing about his condition or breed.

I’m just curious to know if my little guy will be in kitty diapers in the next few years or if there’s anything I can do (i.e. other types of food, massage, or any other type of therapy) to slow the condition if it is progressive.

I noticed that my dog has tapeworms, I know I need to treat him, but should I also treat my cat even if I haven’t seen any worms in his feces?

We just realized our cat has little worms around her butt. From my internet research it appears to be a tapeworm. One website said that while tapeworms seem to be the lesser of the evils, the medication is usually pretty expensive. Though like I said this was just one website. She’s going to the animal hospital today, but my husband and I just wanted a general idea of what we’re spending since times are a bit tight.
