I observed my kitten and he did not show any signs of poisoning etc (fine today Tuesday 4th August - deflead on Saturday). However these drops didnt help as he is ridden with fleas. Not too much I guess but there is loads of black droppings near his neck and tail. What else can I use on him. I've also ordered flea comb.

Also he was dewormed with Johnson's Kitten Easy Worm Syrup (which says it can be used on kittens from 2 weeks). Not sure if it works, how long until he'll be free of worms. I'm not sure if he's got them but his belly looks quite big.


Can you please give me some hints / advise on how to look after him. We are going to the vet on Saturday to have him fully checked.


When it comes to food, he's constantly hungry! He eats like a horse. I'm feeding him whiskas wet food pouches (1 or 1 and a half packets), which he loves. I also give him whiskas milk for kittens over 6 weeks. I've observed that his poo is soft but not very watery. Today his poo was more watery than before.What his poo should look like? Do i feed him too much? But if I decrease his food he just wants more and keeps going to his bowl. My friend recommended to use Royal Canin Babycat food, which I've just ordered.
