What do tapeworms do to my pet?
Of all of the intestinal parasites, tapeworms are probably the most benign. Your pet may show little or no clinical signs of infection. Sometimes we will see a cat with chronic vomiting that will respond to deworming for tapeworms.
The most serious complication of tapeworm infection is obstruction of the intestinal tract, because these worms can be quite long and take up a lot of space. Sometimes after deworming, we have a cat vomit or pass 15-20 inches of worms!
