Hey /an/ I just got back from vacation and I left my cat with my mom she discovered after about 2 days of having my cat that it had tapeworms and being the hippie she is instead of buying meds from the vet she bought some diamateous earth so I'm wondering will this work or do I head to the vet when they open tomorrow?

Diatomaceous earth is supposed to work by drying insects. Obviously it can't work in cat's intestine. Well, at least if you don't want kill your cat too.

Diatomaceous earth will work - ratite farmers in the US have been using it with great success. It is a fine silica powder made of the millions of tiny skeletons of diatoms. This silica material literally slices the soft parts of insects so they die of dehydration. It does work in the gut. Having said that, it can be hazardous to breathe, so I'd basically be getting a pill from the vet, especially since you are supposed to worm your animals every two or three months.
