How old is the kitten and what wormer are you using?

I worm at 4 weeks old with Panacur paste, again at 6, 9 and 12 weeks old with Milbemax and then monthly after that until they are 6 months old and then switch to once every 3 months (unless they hunt in which carry on monthly)

Well Milo was wormed at 14 weeks when he was in rescue with Panacur,

His now 18 weeks and I didn't know when he needs worming again, we're seeing the vet tonight for boosters so was going to get some then if need be

I would ask the Vet for milbemax wormer, it is a nice small tablet and the Vet will probably administer it for you there and then.

Thats what I've been doing, but I use Drontal instead of Milbemax.
