What should I do with my new kitten while we're waiting for her de wormer to come through the mail?

She has worms, her meds are coming via amazon on Tuesday and she seems like she's uncomfortable, she's always hungry, etc. Is there anything I can do for her to make her more comfortable until they come? I feel like I should keep her quarantined from everyone but I feel bad because she's like 6 weeks old. [emoji]128534[/emoji]

Poor girl. It is uncomfortable for them, but waiting a few days shouldn't cause too much trouble. Just feed plenty of nutritious food and offer water. Also, wear gloves when cleaning the litter box just to be safe. If you let her around your other animals just make sure they get dewormed as well.

Something important to keep in mind is that tapeworms aren't treated with the same meds as other worms are, so you may need two different wormers (our kittens did).

I hope this helps. Best of luck!

What type of worms and what is the de-wormer?
