I didn't mean to contradict but was checking prices as my 3 are due for treatment soon - this was the info for Drontal


Use During Pregnancy and Lactation:
Not to be used during pregnancy but may be used during lactation.
DO NOT BREED OR BUY WHILE SHELTER ANIMALS DIE

I believe I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable to the race would not remove my hostility to it.  Mark Twain

Yes Milbemax, Drontal and Frontline are perfectly safe to use on pregnant cats (you'd have to check about others as that's all I use).

Fleaing pregnant mothers

I just picked up a pregnant mum cat tonight and i'm wondering if I can give her flea treatment. I can't see any fleas but grit is coming off her and she didn't come from the best part of town if you catch my drift.

Her previous owner reckoned that she has about 4 weeks to go.

Can I worm her too? I used to know all this but I just can't remember and instead of googling I figured it would be better to get advice here
