My lot are due to be wormed - costs me a fortune with 10 !!
Where is cheapest for worming tablets ? (not Drontol the other one beginning with M, Milimax ?) I cant find them on the net !!!
-
http://froogle.google.co.uk/froogle?q=milbemax+cat+2-8kg&btnG=Search&hl=en&show=dd Looks like £3.42 will be the cheapest. Someone might know of somewhere even cheaper though. Fingers crossed for you with 10 lol. You might find you can get a discount if you buy in bulk?
-
Thank you soooooo much - i pay nearly £6 a tablet so that will be a huge saving :thanks:
-
Milbemax is still a POM so you would need a vet prescription

£6 for a Milbemax, Has you vet got or wants diamond studded teeth?
-
I was going to say the same as Ela - but, vets have to give you a free prescription by law. That price is scandalous though, the most I have paid for Milbemax is £3.50 (and my vets aren't known for being cheap), I can get Drontal online for £1.73, but can't get Drontal into them without them foaming at hte mouth, so prefer to pay extra!!
-
My vets charge about £4.50-5.00 for milbemax so I'm going to start getting a prescription from the vets and buying it online.

I popped into the vets today to check price and they are £5.45 each !!!!
-
Checked ours too - last ones (in december) were £5.41 each...........
...........looks like I'll be buying online too from now on (although I'm a bit of a chicken regarding asking vets for a prescription, lol!)

Oh well in that case perhaps the vet will only be able to afford a diamond in every other tooth.

Drontol were £3.69
Tell ya what i did buy, the Panacur chewy tablets (£2.40 yipee) I bought just one tablet to see if my fuzzy cat would eat it and she did !!!
So i might go and buy 9 more of those and do them all with them
-
Panacur are £1.73 per tablet at Vetuk.co.uk (don't forget to go via the link on ghe coventry cat group site - so Angie gets some commission)
If you get a prescription from the vet you can get Milbemax from here: http://www.bestpetpharmacy.co.uk/search_results.asp

Ouch! I haven't bought any for ages but will definately be brave and ask for a prescription in May if they are that cost each now.

There are different types of tapeworm.

Cheers Ela - but as i said the VN said that the Panacur DID do them all lol

Your vet nurse needs educating. Fenbendazole Brand name Panacur. Common tapeworm Dipylidium caninum. is the flea related tapeworm. I think that is right anyway.
See below taken from net:-
Fenbendazole (often abbreviated “FBZ”) is used in both large and small animals. In dogs, it is useful against roundworms, hookworms, and the more difficult to treat whipworms. It is effective against the Taenia species of tapeworm but not against the Common tapeworm Dipylidium caninum. It is also effective against giardia, a protozoan and several species of lungworm and even some flukes.
