Best Answer

Your doctor should be able to give you a good, definitive answer. However, common sense recommendations are:

1. Make sure that you get the cat treated.

2. Ask someone else to take care of the litterbox while you are pregnant.

3. Always wash your hands after handling the cat.

Will garlic get rid of tape worms in a cat?

No, garlic is not an effective treatment for tape worms. You will need to get medications from your veterinarian to get rid of tape worms, as the medications available in farm supply and department stores in the United States are also not effective against tape worms. In addition, garlic may have severe side effects for your cat, including anemia (too few red blood cells that carry oxygen) and gastrointestinal problems (such as vomiting, diarrhea, etc.). When in doubt, see your vet.
