WHAT ARE WOLF WORMS ,WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE. AND HOW TO TREAT THEM

Question
I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN CURIOUS ABOUT WOLF WORMS. WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL I USED TO SEE MY MOTHER SQUEEZE THESE THINGS OUT OF OUR CATS NECK /THROATS AND SHE CALLED THEM WOLF WORMS. SHE SAID THAT THEY COULD KILL MY CATS/KITTENS IF SHE DID NOT GET THEM OUT.  

Answer
Hi Beverly!  Wolf worms are one parasite I am not familiar with, as they are not present in the area in which I live.  I have actually never seen one!  I do know though, from my studies, that wolf worms are small yellow and black worms that have the ability to burrow inside skin.  They reproduce very, very quickly.  When wolf worms are present, veterinary intervention is most important to rid the animal of this parasite and all of the present eggs.  Antibiotic therapy and dewormers like Drontal or Nemex are often times used in the treatment of ridding the host of these parasites.
I hope this helps and I wish I could give you more information.  Unfortunately, I truly have no immediate experience in dealing with this particular parasite.
