My kittens are 24 days old now, and I think that means it's time to worm them. What I'd love to know is when to worm them and exactly what kind of treatment I should use? I don't want to use the wrong thing...

Normally, they shall be wormed against  round worms, as they can get round worms from mom.

Tape worms only if they were flea infested.

In Sweden we use much the brand Banminth, as a paste.  Renown to be mild for kittens.  The active substance is Pyrantel.  So if you cant get Banminth, most reputable brands with Pyrantel as the active substance should do.  The remaining question is the dosage, but it is usually on the box.

Normally, best is to have your vet to ask.  But if dont have... Go to your pharmacy, see what they have.

Write up, ask us and or google...

Good luck!
