Has anyone used it and had any problems?
Hiya lass, hope you and your lot are all ok, I seem to remember having it sent home with me once but with a warning that the bottle prescribed was for the size of a big dog and that for a small cat had to be reduced accoringly. I wouldnt be happy using it on a kitten as I think I had it for an adult female that had a full hysterectomy
