Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Male | neutered | 10 lbs
Good afternoon! About 4 weeks ago now, I noticed that my cat had symptoms of having worms. I went out and bought medication for him. After the initial dose, he mostly slept it off but I had read online that he may he uncomfortable feeling the worms dying so i let him sleep through it. Two weeks later, so this past tuesday I dosed him again as Instructed on the medication. I'm noticing now that my cat keep going into the litterbox and only peeing a little drop each time. Is this a normal effect?

No, this is not a normal effect and this won't be caused by the worms. The worms you treated Finch for were in his intestines, and it sounds like he has a problem with his bladder. He may be suffering from feline idiopathic cystitis or bladder stones. I'd have him seen by a vet today for blood work and a urinalysis. If he does have one of the medical illnesses I mentioned, the vet can treat him for it. Please take him into a vet today. I hope this helps!
