My cat is skinny. What's the cost to check and treat for tapeworms?

Question

How much would it cost to check a cat for tapeworms along with the medicine/treatment? We are sure he has tapeworms because he's really skinny no matter how much we feed him. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered

Cost of an exam and or intestinal parasite exam will vary from clinic to clinic. Your best bet is to call to get a general estimate from the clinic you plan to use. However tapeworms typically do not cause much problem in pets, while they may have them, tapeworms alone are rarely a reason for extreme hunger or weight loss. A veterinary exam and intestinal parasite check is a great first start to try to get Sumba healthy. Good luck and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
