Can I deworm my kitten with tablets? How often should I do it?

I would give Muezza Panacur. It's a three day course of treatment, and she will need another course of treatment two weeks after the first ends. After that, she should be dewormed monthly until she is six months of age, and then she should be dewormed every three months. The amount to give her is based on her weight, and the instructions on the bottle of Panacur will tell you how much to give her. I hope this helps!

How much the kittens need to get of the Zentel depends on their weight. The dosing instructions should be on the bottle, and I would follow that. It is correct you need to deworming them every two weeks in the start. That is because it takes at least two dose of the medication given two weeks apart in order to kill all the worms. The first dose kills the adults present, while the second dose kills the ones that had no yet hatched at the time of the first treatment. I would give your kittens two doses two weeks apart, and then I would give it to them monthly until they are six months of age. After that, they can get it every three months. Good luck, I hope this helps!

I usually go by age vs weight. It is safe to give healthy kittens that are two weeks old and older. Usually it is repeated every two weeks and the dosage is calculated by their weight. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for your kittens.

Hello, & thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. You can definitely deworm Fiber now. For a kitten this young, you can use Pyrantal pamoate which is available over the counter. The bottle will have all the details as to how much to give. I would recommend repeating this in 2 weeks. Take care. Fiber is such a cutie!

Many times you will not see intestinal parasites until the animals are critically sick. It's recommended to deworm young puppies and kittens every two weeks for at least three cycles, due to the lifecycle of the parasites. I would recommend getting a product labeled for kittens such as pyrantel pamoate. Make sure you weigh them and get accurate weights to dose the medication. As soon as you are able I do still recommend a veterinary exam as they will need vaccines, feline leukemia testing and there are other parasites that the pyrantel may not address. Look in your area as there are often low cost vaccination clinics available through pet stores or feed stores if a full service clinic is not possible. Also check with your local veterinarian as many times they may offer a rate for a litter of kittens versus charging each animal individually. Best of luck and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It depends on what medication you were given. If it was Panacur (fenbendazole) then it is one dose daily for 3 days. If you can re-post with the name of the medication, if it is not panacur, we can answer better. Not all dewormers are dosed the same. I hope this helps!

Hi, I would recommend to worm first, at an interval of 2 weeks apart and then continue with every 3 months. Please consult the vet about using a product for cats which treat against roundworm and tapeworm.
