The instructions say that for my cat's weight I give her 1 tablet. Is that just a one time dose and that's all she needs for the month or do I give her one tablet a day until the pills are gone? I'm starting to assume that I only give her the 1 tablet and then the tapeworm will die. Does anyone know for sure? Here's a link to the exact pills I bought: http://www.tradewindsforpets.com/tapewormtabs.htm
Thanks for the help!

Just the one tablet. Save the other ones...she may get tapeworms again!!!!!!
You DO NOT need to repeat it in 10 days!!! That is for roundworms!!!! Tapeworm pills are a one time treatment, but the cat can get them back!!! Either fleas or eating vermin will make them reappear!!!!!!! There are three tablets because of the weight ranges!!! Some cats will need more than one tablet!!!!!

The site says that all the tablets must be eaten, but it does not tell when to give the cat the second and third tablets!
Better use the Contact that's on the website and find out!

You could give her one dose now and repeat in 7-10 days if she's never been done before then she'll probably be good. If she's an outside cat you can deworm her every 6 weeks if she's a good mouser. Good rule of thumb is spring and winter at least.

It would seem on tablet for a six week dose. But I'd write to the company and ask to make sure.

it is a one time dose and you should only redose if you still notice tapeworm segments but give it at least a few days before you redose.

If it doesn't say "daily" or anything like that, then it's just a one-time dose.

Usually their by the week or month. NOT DAILY! That would be toxic.
