Weight Loss, Constipation Followed By Loose Stools, Itchy Lumps On Arms And Legs. Cat Had Been De-wormed Few Days Ago. Possible Causes?
Hi, I was just getting a bit paranoid because I found out my cat had worms a few weeks ago. I got him treated and he is now worm-free. I was just wondering if I could have gotten them? I haven t noticed weight loss , nor have I really been paying attention. I have been constipated, followed by periods of loose excretion . I also have these really itchy lumps on my arms and legs. Now, I understand that they could be fleas, but I have treated my house so many times, and have given the cat baths. There have been no signs of fleas in the house since the worms were exterminated. I have noticed that I m not as hungry as I usually am and actually tend to be nauseous.
This is not symptoms of worms, you may be psychologically affected by what happens to your cat, so my advice to you to do stool analysis to be sure that there is nothing wrong.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
