Tapeworm infection is one of the most common internal parasite problems observed by pet owners. The presence of tapeworms is indicated when tapeworm segments are passed with the feces. Tapeworm segments are white, pinkish-white or yellow-white and similar in size and shape to flattened grains of rice. The segments are most frequently observed lying on the animal's droppings or, less often, moving across a freshly passed stool. Segments are also found on the hair around the anus of the animal, or occasionally on the animal's bedding. Cats become infected with tapeworms after eating fleas or small animals (rabbits, hares) which are infected with tapeworm larvae. Consult your veterinarian for assistance in the diagnosis, treatment, and control of parasitism.
