worms!?

what is the best over the counter worm medicine for an eight week old kitten?

I would only use something from the vet's especially on a kitten. I got two different kinds from the vet's for one of my kittens, one for roundworms and he was a rescue that had been badly infested with fleas so she went ahead and gave him one for tapeworms. It really wasn't that expensive, much safer, and you know you're getting something that will work.

Please take your kitten to the Vet to be wormed. I would not recommend trusting any over the counter wormer.

OTC wormers can be dangerous and often inappropriate, especially for a kitten. The vet needs to determine what kind of worms she has and will work out the dosage according to her weight.

Thanks! that was my thinking too. It just takes forever to get into a vet. here! It's as bad as a doctors office!

Short answer - none!

Vet needs to get a stool sample and find out what kind of worms your baby has before any treatment.

Let us know how you make out.

I made an appt for my two kittens and described the worms, and the vet gave me a wormer that worked great. Ugh, thinking about what I found again.
