Does a deworming product cause puking and diarrhoea in kittens?

Question

Its a product that contains fenbendazol.

it didnt have a box

the vet gave it to me and told me to administer it in 3 days in 5ml doses and the cat isnt shaking or anything, first it went constipated then it went diarroetic and it threw up once. Im taking her to the vet and Ill keep u updated.

Answer 1

It can kill them if they're very young. Look on the package and see how old they need to be to handle a poison like that. Usually its 3 months old or maybe younger. You NEED to read the package.

Answer 2

I dont think vomiting is normal. When my kitten went to the vet last week, for her first round of shots, she was dewormed and the vet said she may have some diarehea. Sure enough, the next night she did. But never threw up, I dont think thats normal. Call and ask your vet, and if your vet didnt work her/him, you should really have your vet worm your animals, its much safer and over the counter worming meds can cause serious illness, or even death.

Answer 3

It should not cause this reaction. This reaction is indicative of a kitten that has an enormous infestation of worms or is allergic to the medication. Either way, please take the kitties to the vet. Diarrhea and vomiting can quickly result in dehydration in animals and needs to be addressed immediately. Most worming meds should not be administered to kittens under the age of 8-12 weeks depending on the meds. It may be too late to help them. Please see a vet.

Answer 4

im panicking. check the product because i think the kittens have to be a certain age before deworming. if its safe for them, your okay. if not they might be shoeing signs of poisoning. if the vomit is foamy or they start shaking or convulsing take them to the vet. also some cities have pet emergency rooms. you can call for advice. good luck! remember to feed wormer individually co every cat gets the proper dose. piggy cats will eat more and others wont eat enough.

Answer 5

kittens cant be dewormed untill a certain age. its different with each type of dewormer. never use a medication on an animal without consulting a vet. neglectful moron if you cant afford to take proper care of an animal by haveing it wormed by a vet then you shouldent have the animal.

Answer 6

Please take the kitten to the vet. there are various different worms a can could have that over the counter de-wormer won't kill. additionally if its no longer finished contained in the appropriate doses and style of doses the worms won't die. the only way you are able to tell if worms are lifeless is getting a stool specimen and gazing it decrease than a microscope.

Answer 7

It can cause diarrhea, but if the kitten is continually throwing up, they may have given it too much. If It doesn't stop, you need to contact your vet.

Answer 8

Not usually. What kind was it?
