I bought some today as Kylie has very bloody poo :( - the vet advised worming and seeing how she goes. I told them I had spot-on wormers but they said tablets are much more effective (wish they had told me when I bought them >:( ). Anyway, I asked for pocket tabs but they don't sell them. She said the new ones are called "Milbemax tasty" and she guaranteed that Kylie would take it - she said she hasn't heard of a single cat that has refused and wanted me to phone her if Kylie won't take it. I pointed out that she hasn't met Willow and I will guarantee she won't take it :tired: - as Willow won't eat treats, I think it is highly unlikely.
-
Well are they "tasty"?
If so , I hope they start stocking them round here!
-
Well Kylie thought so, she sniffed it, licked it a few times before eating it :) - I don't know how new they are. I will try Clapton, Alice and Willow in a bit but I think I will have to give Willow profender.
Just checked and it really is a new formulation - I guess some places will still be selling old stock first. It is called "Milbemax Tasty"

As I thought. The beef flavour is a coating. I put one in Willow's food but she ate round it. 1/2 hour later, the coating was peeling off exposing a white tablet :tired:
Oh well - luckily I have some Profender for her :evillaugh:
-
I have a couple of cats like that.....wont touch biccies or anything that is not of a wet food consistancy....Hope you phoned the vets and told them? :tired:
-
No point really :tired:
-
Yes there is....They said it had been 100% up until you getting them....Willow has yet again "made her mark!" :heeee heeee: ;)
-
Alice didn't take hers either :tired: - luckily I did it just in time (almost)
I gave Clapton his with food about 5pm yesterday. Around 8pm, Clapton dragged his backside across the sofa like a dog - typical cat, rather than do it on the throw, he did it on the only bit that wasn't covered :sick: - maybe he likes the feel of velvet? :evillaugh: - Hopefully a spray of "Bugs Away" is good enough.
-
going slightly off topic (there's a surprise!) has anyone tried the bayer spot on for worms, I hate wrestling at worming time
-
I have got some - is it Profender?
I got some a while back ready for the next worming. When I phoned the vet on Sunday when there was blood inKylie's poo, they told me to worm her and see how she went. I told them I had profender and they said to give her a tablet as they are more effective :Crazy: - I was a bit peed off as I assumed they were as good. I suppose she meant they will get to the gut quicker?
-
yes that's it, bit disappointing that the tabs work better, getting a tablet into Tilly brings out all her asian leopard cat genes unfortunately and I dread it everytime
-
I guess the profender works fine but if they actually have an infestation, a pills deals with it more directly?
-
I do worm them regularly but they do hunt, had a mouse in the dining room this morning, but I'd be more inclined to use the stop on I think so I'll give it a try next time
-
Half a milbemax slotted in a cube of raw steak and they dont notice. They should enjoy it if they are hunters
-
1/2? - I gave them a whole one :scared:
Anyway, Alice got a profender in the garden this afternoon and was purring as she thought I was scratching her neck :evillaugh:
-
1/2 for a cat upto 4kg which an 'average' cat should weigh in at.
-
Well Kylie is 7kg and Clapton is about 5 1/2. Luckily Willow wouldn't take one :Crazy:
-
Clapton has a good weight for crf cat, bless him
-
The leaflet does say one of the side effects for some cats is increased appetite - then again he has always loved his grub :evillaugh:
I know I shouldn't feed pork but I ran out of chicken and so he had a whole pork medallion for his mid morning snack (with a forkekor hidden in a piece :evillaugh: )
