Hi There,

Thanks for trying to take care of this kitty but at this point he really needs a vet. I don't go along with your tapeworm theory and if you did this with an OTC product you may have done more harm than good, unfortunately. Even when worms are present they are not likely to cause severe problems. This is especially true of tapeworms, which a cat gets by swallowing fleas when he is grooming. A cat can have tapeworms for a very long time without having symptoms.

Watery diarrhea can be a very serious thing as a cat can easily become dehydrated. This is especially true if a cat is debilitated and has little reserve. Your guy needs a vet appointment ASAP.

The vet will most likely want to do a full blood panel, a urinalysis, and possibly an x-ray. If this were one of my babies I would take him in and have all this done. It's very important to find out what is going on.

Please take your kitty in and keep us updated.

Regards,
PHKitkat
