My cat (whos now recovering after having an abscess removal surgery & being neutered) started up again with little pieces of what appears to be "white rice grains" coming out of his booty. They had stopped for a long time. But they started up again. I am taking him to the vet tomorrow for his shots/recheck up. But if there's something I can buy at the store rather than get him check for that let me know. Vets are very expensive. I paid $520 for the neutering, surgery & the FeLV/FIV test. So IF I can avoid another pricey visit with over the counter meds (That work!) let me know please.

Thank you!

Tapeworm segments. Tapeworm almost always comes from ingesting a flea. Tell the vet about it tomorrow, he/she will give you a de-wormer (de-wormers typically aren't too expensive). You may want to consider a monthly flea preventative such as Frontline or Revolution, too.

Worms. I wouldn't recommend it, but you can treat it over the counter. $520 is a lot to pay for the services that were done. Times are tough, do the best you can.
