Recently My cat has gotten tapeworms. I am Bringing her to the vet to be De-wormed very soon, so I don’t need advice on what to do. However I am stumped on how she got them. I’ve read that they can only get them from fleas, but she wears a flea collar, and I often check her fur for flea dirt of fleas and they simply aren’t there. She is also and indoor cat and she has a very picky choice in food so she doesn’t eat prey such as mice (I would also have known because of the smell, and I keep keep my place clean). How could she have gotten the tapeworms. I’m going to check for sure and have the vet check but I’m almost certain the reason isn’t fleas.
I live in the city so there There may be rodents but not Crickets and birds (Birds cannot get into my home). also my building is checked for these every weekend. There are certainly little to no rodents. and not only do I use effective flea collars but I also use the KEEP FLEAS OFF non-toxic bathing and grooming treatment program, it effectively covers her whole body
