If my kitten was already given front line spot on can i still worm her?

Question

With Sherley's Easy Treat Worming Cream.

(my kitten is about 9 weeks old,and was given front line,when 7 weeks)

Answer 1

Hmm... usually cats aren't supposed to be wormed or have flea medication until they're about 8 weeks old.  Frontline, as far as I know, doesn't do anything for worms, just fleas and outer parasites.  You can try, but read the package BEFOREHAND, because it might say 'don't mix with any other medication'. If you have any questions, call your vet to ask questions about it, they'd be happy to answer.

Best of luck! =)

Answer 2

FRONTLINE is a little harsh for a kitten that young, we hav e found some have a bad reaction to it....and it only treats fleas. You may want to try STRONGHOLD it works the same as FRONTLINE on the back of the neck, and not so strong, but it treats worms also, all in one treatment. Or for kittens we also use PANACUR PASTE, which you give them one dose over 3 days.

Answer 3

normally worms are treated with a pill.  the fronline treatment wont do anything for worms, so she will need a worm treatment as well.  dont get anything from anywhere other than a vet cause all the other products otc, could kill her.  we just dewormed our kitten who is 9 weeks, after giving him a treatment of frontline as well, so unless your vet recommends that you do differently, it wont hurt the kitty.  good luck.

Answer 4

You should really take your kitten to the vet first.  They will advise on worming and flea treatment.  At that young age you need to be extra careful with what medication you give them.
