Drontal- deworming

[katja]

Hi,

My cat is an in- and outdoor cat.
Because he got worms several times when I lived in California, I
started deworming him once a month with Drontal...and I used Advance
against the flees.

A couple of weeks ago I moved to Seattle, WA. Do I have to deworm him
less frequently? Maybe every other month?

Thanks!

Cathie

Good grief.... Do something about the source of intestinal worms
instead of repeatedly poisoning your cat just enough to kill the
worms. Maybe you need a pet rock.

Hi Cathie,
is your vet advising you about worming and flea treatment . In the
Uk you can only get Dontral from the vet. The dosage depends on the
weight of the cat and should be given every THREE months, not every
month . I dose my cat every 6 months .

You should not be worming that frequently with Drontal. Check with your vet.
