cat with tapeworm

Question
My cat has tapeworms, I went to the vet today and purchased Tradewinds tap
Worm Tabs.

How long (if you know) will it take for this to clear up the tapeworms. How
will I know if it's working (will I see longer segments in her bowels?)

If you could answer this that would be great, if not, can you forward it to
someone who can?

Answer
Hi Crystal - it takes two wormings to get rid of them - many times you need to do the 2 wormings because of eggs.
You need to do the dosages now and then wait 15 days and do it again.
Please talk to your vet if you don't understand.

Best Wishes and have Fun.
