I have a Cat sick with tapeworms and rushing to treat. Wondering is this gonna be to late since she is already weak. Am I going to treat and she is going to pass anyway. This may help us with future cases. Thank you so very much.

If Jellybean's tapeworm infection is bad enough that she is very weak or ill I would seek veterinary care immediately. While treating the worms may help, it is best she gets veterinary care in addition including potential IV fluids, anemia treatments, etc to help her recover. Your vet can also monitor treatment progress to see if additional action needs to be taken to remove all the worms and keep Jellybean comfortable.
