These poor little Bengal mix kittens are so full of roundworms and earmites it's pathetic. NO, they're not going back. Every one of those cats, adults and kittens, are going to be full of worms and earmites. Their little bellies are just unbelievably swollen with roundworms.
They are pooping them out, slowly but surely, but they will need multiple wormings, because the wormer kills only the mature worms. Then, when the gut is empty of adult worms, larvae hanging out in and traversing through organs, sense the vacancy in the gut and migrate into the gut and mature, requiring another worming. This usually takes ten days to two weeks, once the original mature infestation is killed.
Roundworm larvae can create swiss cheese of organs.
I am a Cat Woman. My self-appointed mission in life is to save the feline world! To accomplish this mission, I get cats fixed. Perhaps my mission might be slightly delusional. This blog is a mishmash of wishful thinking, rants, experiences as I remember them and of course, cat stories and cat photos. I have a nonprofit now, to help keep the cats here cared for and to fix community cats. Happy Cat Club formed in 2015. Currently, we are on a mission to fix 10,000 cats.
