Heartworm disease is not as common in cats as in dogs, but that doesn’t mean cats are entirely protected from this dangerous parasite. In cats, the American Heartworm Society divides heartworm disease into two phases. In the first phase, the immature worms migrate from their entry point, usually a mosquito bite, to the pulmonary arteries, which carry blood from the heart to the lungs. Once in the pulmonary arteries, heartworms can cause a dangerous condition called heartworm-associated respiratory disease, or HARD. In the second phase, the adult heartworms begin to die in the arteries, which can cause a very dangerous lung condition.
Things to consider when buying cat dewormers and parasiticides:
• Diagnosing heartworm disease in cats: The symptoms of heartworm infection in cats can be challenging to identify since they resemble many other conditions. Your vet may use a variety of tests to diagnose active heartworm infection.
• Avoid toxic treatments: The American Heartworm Society does not recommend treatments that kill adult heartworms in infected cats, because most of the common treatments are toxic to cats.
• Spontaneous cure is possible: Some cats will naturally clear a heartworm infection, so your vet may recommend active monitoring over time.
• Medications can help: Your vet may prescribe steroids to reduce the inflammatory response, antibiotics to attack bacteria associated with heartworms, and drugs that help your cat breathe more easily.
• Surgery is an option: Surgery can be used to remove heartworms.
• Prevention is the best option: There are many effective medications that can help prevent heartworm infection in the first place. These are often administered monthly or bimonthly and maybe combined with medications that prevent flea and tick infestation.
Talk to your vet about choosing the right dewormer or parasiticide for your cat.

Dewormer treats roundworms, hookworms and whipworms by paralyzing and killing them, while tapeworms are killed and broken into smaller sections your cat can then pass. Some parasites, like hookworms and whipworms, are so small you may not see them in your cat’s stool at all. That is why you should visit your vet regularly and have her perform an exam and test your cat’s stool for parasites.
The best prescription deworming and parasite medicine for your feline will depend on which parasites or worms she has and what other problems you want to prevent or treat. Preventatives like Heartgard and Interceptor Plus protect against heartworm and treat and control intestinal worms, as well, while NexGard and Bravecto protect against fleas and ticks that can carry parasites. You can also buy standalone dewormers and targeted treatments for problems like mange, mites and ringworm. Ask your vet which products might be best for your cat.
Dewormers can cause diarrhea and frequent defecation is a common side effect, too. The symptoms usually pass within a day or two and your kitty should be back to feeling normal by then, as well. Common side effects from dewormers include diarrhea, excessive salivation, vomiting or hair loss at the application site for topicals. Talk to your your vet if any side effects cause you concern.
