Hi,
I just wondered if anyone could advise me on how long I should leave between worming my cats,(using milbemax) , and then 'de-fleaing' them using Frontline...or can I do both at the same time ?
The treatments are both due at the same time this month, and I don't want their protection to be compromised...any help gladly received !

Jax.

I use mibblemax on my 2 indoor cats every 6months, as directed by the vet, and frontline combi every 6 weeks( my cats are indoor cats )
if i had outdoor cats i would treat with frontline every 4 weeks and worm every3 months.

I tend to give them both treatments separately if I can weeks apart otherwise days apart, I don't know the rule of thumb.

I use frontline every 4 weeks during the summer months and every 6 weeks during the winter months. De-wormer every 3 - 4 months. My previous cat was an outdoor cat.

I will treat the kittens every 6 to 8 weeks with frontline and de-worm every six months as they are indoor cats. Their treatment has been a lot more frequent than normal under veternarian supervision to both clean them and to prevent re-infestation.

Hi...Thanks for your help...I do worm every 3 months and frontline every 4/5 weeks- outdoor cats in wild wales !- what I meant was, can u worm and de flea on the same day ? There doesnt seem to be much info on this subject anywhere, and I don't want to harm them !!! I have a ginger tom (sunny) who was rescued from a hedge (thrown there by a passing car)...he is gorgeous..a very pale apricot with deep gold eyes. The other beauty is a bengal cross, called Luna... she is very stand offish and is very much a one person cat, if anyone strokes her that isnt me , she licks clean where they have touched !!! But she is such a character ... They both used to be house cats, but we moved to wales so they could start going out...now they are in cat paradise exploring the hill behind, hunting ,climbing trees and sunbathing !!! Thanks for your help, everyone that has replied, Jax. XX

Yes as far as i know you can SmileyJ
