i think u need to use panacur for the worming hun
and the fleas
how old r the kittens now? i think u can use frontline from 2 weeks old
-
a week and 3 days, just opened there eyes, where would i get panacur from???
-
the panacur u get from the vet its quite cheap and it comes in a syringe
but double check wat age they can have it at first , im sure its from 2weeks .
-
will get onto them, thanks

Frontline Spray can be used from 2 days old.
-
yep thats it i know it was either 2weeks or 2 days
which just proves no kitten should have fleas
all of mine that ive got as kittens all were riddled with fleas
and my bailey and bridie had fleas and worms
it was a nightmare .
-

Bathing will not solve the flea problem.

To be honest with you, it is not affective enough you need the Panacur given to small kittens over a period of 3 days and the frontline spray. Although the vet will need to see the kittens before you can have the frontline spray as it is still a POM. At our vets you do not have to pay for a flea/worm check. However, if you have already used the Johnsons I would have a word with the vet as to when you can give the Panacur
I would also suggest you get some household spray e.g., Staykill or Acclaim, once again the stuff available from shops and supermarkets is not effective enough.

But the kitten will have lovely clean fleas :evillaugh:
Sorry - my vet said that once ;D
-
Good luck in getting rid of them - as Ela says, bathing wont do a lot, you will have to treat mum and the house, but you could try combing with a flea comb and dipping it into very hot soapy water to kill them until you can get something from the vet - just make sure the comb is completely dry before putting it back through their fur.

just phoned the vet got appointment tomorrow at 10am, was going to charge me for a check up but i said no no she he went and asked the vet and he said it was free ;D for checking them over ;D ;D
-
Good luck for tomorrow.
-
u must treat the house for fleas at the same time if not ur be fighting a losing battle coz there will be fleas everywhere the cat has gone .
-
got on well at the vets, but got to go back wednesday for lancer and evo to be checked, then can worm and flea them and the houes at the same time!!!!! thanks for all the advice
