Hi-
First of all, I want to welcome everybody in this forum, since I'm new here (and so are my 2 kittens
I'm writing since I'm having roundworms problem in my 2 kittens. They were dewormed by the vet twice already and one of them passed roundworm again yesterday. Last two times they were given Strongid, every time 2 dozes, two weeks apart. The first time, only one was treated, then the stool was checked and the vet said she is fine. (The other was dewormed before I got him) Then my other cat vomited roundworms, so I took both stool samples to the new vet. Believe or not the cat that vomited roundworms was tested negative!!! Anyway, they gave me medication for both. What suprised me however, that they didn't ask about their weight. From what I know Strongid is given by the weight, isn't it? So they were treated, and I thought they're ok, until yesterday. Now, I don't know what to do. Last time, I paid $25 for each stool testing, and $20 for each dose of medication. If I want to give them 3 dozes, and have them checked again, that will cost me a fortune. I'm 100% sure those are roundworms, but it seems to me that they must give me 3 not 2 doses. I'm kind of aggravated by those vet because I feel they didn't treat them right from the beginning, and now the problem is dragging on. Do you think that the vet will be willing to give me a prescription so I can get medication online, to save me some money? Should I try over the counter medication? I'll call my vet tomorrow, but I would like to know your opinion, because I really want to get rid of those worms without breaking the bank. Any thoughts or adviece would be greatly appricated... Thank You.
