100% Natural Support for Symptoms of Parasites in Cats

Intestinal parasites can damage your cat’s digestive tract and interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients. These parasites are often passed through eggs in feces or directly to kittens in utero or through their mother’s milk.

Types of Parasites That Infect Cats

  • Roundworms—The most common intestinal parasite affecting cats.
    • The roundworm larvae if ingested by humans can invade sensitive organs such as the eye or the developing fetus.
  • Hookworms—Hookworms can also infect humans that have a weaker immune system causing abdominal pain and enteritis.
  • Heartworms—The most serious parasite that may lead to heart disease and early death.
    • Heartworms are transmitted through mosquito bites and live in the major blood vessels of the lungs causing severe inflammation.
  • Whipworms—Cats contract whipworms through soil, and feces.
  • Tapeworm—Cats contract tapeworms by eating fleas.

Symptoms of Parasites in Cats

  • Unusual licking, itching, biting, or scratching

  • Hair loss, flaky skin, and skin sores

Microscopic Parasites That Affect Cats

There are also microscopic parasites called protozoa such as coccidian or toxoplasmosis that live inside the cells of the digestive tract.

  • Toxoplasmosis—This microscopic parasite is transmitted through eggs or indirectly through infected raw meat causing a mild digestive upset.

  • Lungworms
