worming a nursing cat


Can you use drontal on a nursing cat?Does this worm the kittens too (through mums milk) or do they need worming seperately?

Re: worming a nursing cat


Just had a quick google and find that drontal is "NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PREGNANT CATS DO NOT USE IN KITTENS UNDER 6 WEEKS OF AGE"

Says nothing about nursing cats, but I would say not to use. Best thing would be to ask your vet's advise.

Perhaps one of the members who is an experienced breeder will be along soon to answer your question better.

Milbemax can be used in pregnant or lactating cats, you should be able to pick some up from your vet. Hope that helps.
