My four month old kitten has worms. I have given her some worming medicine last week but it hasnt done any good, she is still hungry all the time and still has worms. How can i get rid of them and why do they make her so hungry?

Get your kitten to a vet quicky. Your kitten can get really sick and worms are nothing to fool around with.
It is very common for kittens and pups to get worms so off to the vet for worming and also don't forget their vaccinations.
Good Luck.

You don't say what kind of worms they are ? there are different kinds of worms that animals can get.
If you go to the pet shop or a Veterinarian and tell them what the worms looked like the will give the appropriate pills and dosage.Took a pup last week for worming to the Vet
and i was charged £6.50,so expect same cost for kitten.

Shop bought worming medicine is usually rubbish. Stuff you can buy at the vets is a better bet. I give my cats a lump of tobacco - does the trick. The worms are feeding themselves off your kitten's nutrition so she will find herself hungry

Bring her to the vet along with a faecal sample (or just the sample first) and they can tell examine it and tell you what worms exactly, if any, she has. She may have worms the wormer you used doesn't treat, so that's your best bet.
Also remember she's growing so she'll eat a lot!

The worms eat all the food in her intestions leaving her without nutrition. I would take her to a vet and get a stronger de-wormer medication.

Have you taken her to the vet?? They'll know what to do. You might need an additional dose of the worming meds if it didn't get rid of them the first time.

Dont bother with anything from the pet store - get the correct treatment from the vet. Much more effective.
