Worms eeeek?! Advice Needed!

right im staring to panick abit lol!

I Treated Felix,Dodger,Splodge & Spice in January for worms
i used Beaphar multi wormer for cats:
i gave them the pink tablet one week for (roundworms)
the next week a fawn tablet for (tapeworm)
and then the week after another pink tablet for (roundworms)

and then they dont need doing for another 3 months,

the only problem is Dodger took all of the tablets well. But Felix & Splodge, were both sick over the fawn tablet for tapeworm

and the last pink tablet Spice needed to take she refused point blank.

Well tonight as you do i looked at Felix's bum, and the fur down from her bum there was a white worm, got it with some tissue and i think it was alive!!!
I checked the other cats bums but they look fine.

But all 4 cats are not due to be done till April..
Well this time i want to use a spot on wormer, cause it will be easier for me and the cats, instead of using tablets, problem is will i have to wait till April?
or could i try the Spot on wormer now, but wouldnt i be over dosing?!


Thanks! x

Well on the packet of drontal wormer it says if heavily infested redo it in 2 weeks. The chemicals will be out of their system so no you don't need to wait I don't think. You could double check by phoning your vet though? Make sure you buy off a website like animed though, it's SO much cheaper than the vets. For my dogs the vets was more than triple the price x

Re: Worms eeeek?! Advice Needed!

I thought the usual advice was to use products from the vet (or vet suppliers) and not ones like Beaphar, Johnsons etc. as they are not so effective.

Seem to remember a recall on one of the OTC items fairly recently but I can't remember offhand which one it was.
