I have 2 10 week old kittens and know i should be giving them working treatments. The worm one I ordered is roundworm treatment in a syrup and arrives tomorrow. Is that ok whilst they are indoors?
What would you advise I used as a flea preventative and how often should I give it to them?
Many thanks

Don't give such tiny kittens anything at all unless prescribed by a vet. Were they treated prior to you getting them?

Can't give advice without photos...

The worm treatment will arrive with lengthy instructions but there's no reason that it shouldn't be used indoors.

Lavender works well to keep fleas out of your home. I also use Advocat but there may be an age issue if they're young so you need to ask a vet.

Vets at that age, for both things.

They were due a worm treatment, that is what the breeder said. I can ask at the vets when they go for their jabs in a couple of weeks.
Thanks

When my cat had kittens I treated them at (I think) 8 weeks with a paste bought from the vet - although the vet checked them first.

You just kind of squirt it into their mouths.

Don't worm then with anything over the counter. Are they due a wormer now? Do you know what they were given before?

I think the breeder had given a bog standard one. She didn't say get anything special just not cheap stuff.
