What Are Worms in Cats?
Cats in Nigeria are commonly affected by roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms. These parasites live in the intestines and feed on nutrients meant for your cat.
Common Symptoms of Worms in Cats
Signs of worm infection in cats may include:
- Weight loss despite normal feeding
- Diarrhoea or vomiting
- Dull or rough coat
- Bloated abdomen
- Visible worms in stool or around the anus
Symptoms of Worms in Kittens
Kittens are especially vulnerable and may show stunted growth, weakness, persistent diarrhoea, or severe bloating. Early treatment is essential.
How Cats Get Worms in Nigeria
Cats may ingest worm eggs from contaminated soil, prey animals, fleas, or poorly handled food. Outdoor cats and hunting cats are at higher risk.
