Re: Worming my Kittens

Every two weeks for a kitten seems an awful lot. My vet says Miss Daisy only needs worming twice a year as she is an indoor cat. Should I be taking her to be wormed more often, the vet seemed sure twice a year was fine for her.

My kittens are babies only 6 days old.

The worming is to take place at 2, 4 and 6 weeks of age

As i first time breeder i am unsure of what to do. i think you have to worm every 2 weeks in order to prepare them for the world outside of the enviroment they are born in. My cat is aslo indoors and i only have to worm her every year.

But i think it is diffrent when its a litter.

Hi Rosieragdoll

Yes I think that it's just to be more of a precaution really with worming of kittens even tho the cats are indoor.

Somebody mentioned on this post (sorry can't remeber who) that they need worming once a month til 6 months & have to say I agree. Once they have their worming tablet at 12 weeks I have always wormed once a month til 6 months then I do every 3.

Not sure if this is right but something to do with giving them better bone density & again prevention is better than cure.

Good luck with your 1st litter I know how daunting it can be but with places like this & other breeders to talk to it does make all the difference for sure.
