Sometimes the worms die and just come out like mucus in the stool, not full worms. If you gave the proper dose I’m sure it was effective. You can repeat the deworming in two to three weeks to be sure and follow the directions on the package. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for your cat.
