Title: anyone used drontal xl before?
Post by: Dawn F on April 03, 2008, 14:20:16 PM

I got some because I thought they were for over 4kg but I've had real pc problems and have lost of all my links and haven't been able to check but the package says over 6kg - does anyone know off the top of their head?  If they are wrong I'll got to the vet for milbemax

Yes they should all be fine having it as they are within the 4-6kg weight band

Of course you don't sound like a dunce! You had a concern so you asked a question, nothing wrong with that. Always better to be safe than sorry.

Think it just means 1 tablet per 6kg bodyweight although I would have expected it to say that the cat needs to weigh at least 4kg for the XL one. The Drontal people haven't worded it very well at all.

Max had Drontal XL before I switched to the spot-on wormer, and he's about 5.2kg so thats right.
