Kitten diarrhea, blood, white tape: Is it worms? What should I do?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Ragdoll | Female | unspayed

My kitten is around 3 months old.. she's recently had diorera. I've come home to not even able to make it to her litter tray but I found one odd thing in her little tray it's like a clear gooey with a little bit of blood and a white tape... does she have tapeworm and what do I give her to get rid of it?

That looks like she has roundworms and she would need to be dewormed with a broad spectrum dewormer that includes roundworms. The best thing would be to take a fecal sample to a vet for parasite testing so you know the exact parasites that need to be treated.
