August 22, 2008, Newsletter Issue #231: Fleas cause Worms?!

Tip of the Week

Yes, your kitty can contract one type of intestinal worm from eating fleas.
Cats swallow the flea when they chew on the skin that the flea is irritating, then the bristles on the catīs tongue force the flea into the stomach.
If you have a flea problem, be sure to get your kitty de-wormed after you have eliminated the fleas.
