Yes you can but not all de-worming products are safe to use during pregancy. Contact your vet and they will be able to advise you on the safest and most effective product (ask about Panacur)

Yes you can and its very important to do so, But it is best bought from the vets as some worming tablets are unsuitable for pregnant cats and young kittens. and can do more harm than good but by not worming your cat while pregnant will pass the parasite on to the kittens through the mothers milk so it really does need to be done. Also kittens need to be dewormed from two weeks old by speacial liquid kitten dewormer and every 3 weeks after that untill they are twelve weeks old.

As ;long as the kittens arent born yet. Worm the kittens at about 6 weeks. We have had stray kittens. So if u need any info-email me at loopylucia@yahoo.co.uk

It is not recommended, unless you are having a vet do it, the average gestation is about 60-63 days. She can wait, once she is done with her kittens you can have her spayed and wormed all at the same time, please read medications that should not be given while pregnant

You think your capable of worming a cat? You can't even use the spell check button, so shoving drugs down your cats throat is going to be a 'bridge too far!'

I wouldnt..wait until the kittens are born and weaned...then its safe..kittens should be wormed as well before they go to their new homes.

Im sure you can.. you could even throw it up in the air and watch it fly.
But ask the VET if you are concerned for its welfare- meow meow
