worming my kitten?

Question

i wormed my kitten 6weeks ago. how long before i worm her again and how regulary shall i do her as she gets older? she is just under 6months

i used drontal and it dosnt say when to do it again. iv read it thousands of times

Answer 1

Frequency of woming depends on your cats lifestyle. House cats which hardly have any contact with outdoors except secondary contact (for example bottom of peoples shoes or brought in on clothing from other households) may only need to be wormed once or twice a year, but farmcats regularly eating vermin could need to be done monthly. On average, a pet cat with moderate access to outdoors should be wormed approx every three months from six months old as most wormers available aren't preventative, they only kill any worms already living in your cat. There is only one wormer i know of which does claim to have a preventative action, this is stronghold, but it's only available on prescription from your vet. The good news? It's a spot on method of application, the bad news? It's not a multiwormer. so theoretically it should be used with another product. Your best bet would be to ring your veterinary practice and ask if they do nurse or worming clinics. Many do now and they are often a lot less expensive than a vet consult, or even free.

Answer 2

No..it quite is extremely uncertain that worms reason diarrhea.. You pronounced they are six weeks old.. you moreover mght pronounced (which i did no longer understand) "is it around malicious software stuff" One can't tell what variety of malicious software except the doo doo is taken to a laboratory (a vet lab as an occasion) and examined. in the event that they have been my kitties, i does no longer take them to a vet laboratory yet.. (it relatively is your community veterinarian)...i might purchase a working laptop or malicious software drugs at Petsmart and attempt that following the guidelines.. whilst the kitty is going to pottie, look VERY heavily on the pottie to make certain in case you spot something or something that resembles larvae or something that resembles small grains of rice. In different words. if the cat has worms, you may probable treatment it your self. The diarrhea could be brought about by eating milk. I do exactly no longer supply my cats milk in any respect

Answer 3

kittens ( and puppies) get wormed at 6 wks, 9 wks and 12 weeks. If you wormed her 6 weeks ago and she still has worms, it won't hurt to worm again. I've been told that you can do it once a month as long as you don't give too much. make sure you get a wormer that is age appropriate.

Answer 4

It depends on if she is an indoor cat or if she goes outside and hunts. Indoor cats are usually dewormed 2 or 3 times as kittens at 3 week intervals, no need to continue because they're not exposed to parasites. Outdoor cats should be given a general dewormer that also kills tapeworms (most store bought wormers don't kill tapes) every 6 months to 1 year.

Answer 5

I wouldn't worm her again unless her belly blows up like a balloon and gets hard. If this happens, then you need to worm her again. Plus, if the wormer you have isn't working, go to the vets, over the counter stuff could make her sick if you give it to her to much. A vet visit isn't that much for a kitten, and it's better to be safe than sorry.

Answer 6

Kittens should be wormed regularly, particularly against roundworm and hookworm. They should be wormed every 2 weeks until 12 weeks of age.

Worm kittens over 12 weeks of age against tapeworm, as well as roundworm and hookworm. Giving an allwormer every month until 6 months of age can do this.


Cats over 6 months of age should be wormed with an allwormer every 3 months. Allwormers for cats come in tablet or paste form.

Good Luckl

Answer 7

Definately see the vet about this one. Too many worming tablets and kill your pet. The vet will weigh her ask her age and stuff. Then work it out. It depends on breeds, weight, sometimes even blood type. I have a dalmation puppy he's a very big dog for his age (nearly 2) he's almost twice his normal size so we have to get very weak adult ones. So defiantely see the vet abut this one!

Answer 8

firstly you should buy the worming product from a vets not a pet store as the vets have a stronger most up to date stuff and while at the vets the vet will then advise you when the treatment needs repeating

Answer 9

Drontal should be used every 4 months

Answer 10

After the first time, you must repeat it in 14 days, to get rid of the new hatched worms before they lay eggs. I think now you must de worm it again, then after 14 days, and then as is the adult routine.
