Wow
This is a heartbreaking thread and really brings home the reality of working (volunteer or otherwise) in this area.
It is a hugely difficult and philosophical debate to euthenise or not. But any animal lover or owner will know what fantastic and individual characters they are, if only the...
Doing a bit more research (you gotta love Google), I think
that little Mo has tapeworm and not roundworm.
It seems that Banminth is only effective against round worm so I need
some other stuff for the tapeworm. No problem, I know Drontal etc
works against tapeworm.
A couple of questions

Mmmm, I spoke too soon.
Poor little Mo STILL has worms, I saw another one last
night. So out with the worm treatment again. I am using
the following, its called Banminth

Question: Assuming the last treament was at least a few
days...
Hi opilot
Great information, many thanks.
Little Mo seems to be doing much better now. He is putting
on some weight and looking more like a kitten and less like
Yoda from StarWars. We will re-treat him at the end of
the week but so far we haven't seen any more worms.
On the re-homing side...
Worms worms worms! Poor little Mo.
Little Mo is the smallest and most under-developed of the
bunch, now we know why. We de-wormed him when he
arrived, but there is still more.
We have de-wormed him again and everyone else (1 week
later) and I gave him a little bit of de-wormer yesterday...
Update

Great news!
Last night we re-homed our first rescue kitten, Eeenie.
They were a nice young couple who seemed to love cats
and had gone to the trouble to prepare all the bits and
pieces. We were happy to see them adopt her.
Meenie is a tough, lovable kitten and I am...
Keeping a couple, that is definitely a discussion we've had.
Meenie is absolutely gorgeous and its a real temptation.
(I might try and get a couple of pics for you).
Having said that, if we ended up doing this every time we
fostered we'd be wall to wall with cats.
Also, it might be...
Hi All
Firstly, good question, how old are they?
We are not sure, they are not really young. The vet put
the Meenie poorly one at less than 6 weeks but we would
imagine they are around 3-5 weeks old.
The good news is that poorly Meenie is making an amazing
recovery. She went back to the...
Hi All
At the beginning of this year our cat died although I won't
go into that, that's a subject for a newsgroup called
"Incompetant Vetinary Surgeons". I miss my mate dearly!
Anyway, point is, we have some familiarity with keeping
cats and the wife has decided to do volunteer work at a...
Hi all
I wonder if you can help. We have started to have a
toilet problem with our cat in that she increasingly
does a poo elsewhere but her litter. It only seems
to be poo and rarely wee. Her litter is always kept
clean and it is a large tray that we have used for
a long time with the...
Hi, could someone offer some advice.
We have taken our cat to the vet last saturday.
He gave her a number of vaccinations at once including
a nasal vaccine (5 in total).
She is an indoor cat and has never been out.
On Thursday she started sneezing and seems a little bit poorly.
