Worming a 14 week old kitten

Hi there

I took my little one for her FELV vaccination last week, beforehand the vet mentioned worming her at the same time, but she must have forgotten and I have only just remembered myself!

Can I buy a (proper, not supermarket stuff) worming product and do it myself or should I take her back to the vet to do it?

I also wondered what poeple's view on worming is in general. Do you only worm when there are signs of worms, or do you do it as a preventive measure - ie should I worm my kitten even though there are no sign of worms in her poo etc?

Thanks!

PS - the vet report docs I have from the rescue centre show she was wormed and deflead on 11 April, with next wormer due 11 July?

Hey Pheebs, personally I would get wormers from the vet.

Kittens I would religiously worm until they are about 6 months old. I had milbemax wormer for my kitten, which was given monthly.

Have a look at this thread where the topic was discussed not that long ago: A question/advice needed...
