For all those people who are slaves to their cats!
My Tom Cat, Zoro had a bad case of worms in May. So we took him to the vet, and she gave us this medicine tht is a liquid you drip on the back of the cat's neck. I was skeptical, because I don't really think that a medicine that gets absorbed through the skin can effectively find its way to the large intestine.
Now the poor boy has lost anothe 2 pounds, and I was watching him go about his business, digging a hole in the garden, and guess what! FULL OF WORMS!
I went to a different vet this evening and got a pill for him and gave him to immediately. The other vet told me that these droplet medicines for worms work more like a prevention than a cure. If the cat already has a case of worms, it's always better to worm them with pills or medicine they ingest.
No more snake-oil drops on the back of his neck for Zoro anymore! : (

In future you might try garlic oil capsules for worms. Just pop one down his throat and that should take care of whatever ails him. Try and get him to eat some plain yogurt too. The probiotics will help his digestive tract recover and he'll gain back his weight sooner because his body will be able to absorb the nutrients in the food more efficiently.
