Hookworms attach to your cat's intestinal lining with their hook-like teeth, leaving bleeding internal wounds, which can cause anemia and even death if blood loss is severe. Hookworm larvae live in soil and can be ingested by cats or penetrate a cat's skin. Hookworms are the most common of intestinal parasites.
Signs of hookworm disease include weakness, weight loss, gaunt or haggard appearance and dull, scruffy-looking fur. If your cat has any of these symptoms, call your veterinarian immediately. Be sure to bring a stool sample for the veterinarian to examine.
INTERCEPTOR® (milbemycin oxime) Flavor Tabs® for cats are indicated for the removal of adult hookworm (Ancylostoma tubaeforme).
Since INTERCEPTOR Flavor Tabs for cats are also a heartworm preventative, your pet must be tested for heartworm prior to using INTERCEPTOR Flavor Tabs for cats. In cats, safety studies at up to 10 times the label dose did not detect any adverse drug reactions. Click HERE for full product information.
