Tell me about advocate as am having a bad cat day

[user1497299487]

I use advantage (to get rid of fleas) and drontal for worms. I want things that work but don't cost the earth. Advantage is fine but drontal gives my three year old cat the runs. Tonight he has done a poo on DSs duvet, it is in the wash but may well have to go if I can't get the smell out. This is the second time he has had a poo on the bed (also briefly shut in the room that time).

Does advocate solve all this even if it is £££ and from the vet so extra hassle??

Thanks for your experiences.

Advocate doesn't treat all worms though does it.

We use Milbemax for worming and despite her having IBD there have been no adverse reactions. Due to Vinocat being v skinny we give half a tablet every 3 months, one tablet costs a few quid so really not v costly.

We use Advocate and Profender for whatever that doesn't treat. Advocate is monthly and Profender 3 monthly

I use Advantage (can buy online much cheaper than vet) and Profender from vets for worms. It's prescription only, and the saving buying it online is minimal once you've factored prescription costs in.

Advocate and Profender here too.

I've just discovered milbemax and find it much easier than Drontal as the tablets are smaller and taste better. So much easier to get down the little buggers. Drontal was always a vets job.

Toddler sorry but I have to ask, how do you know the tablets taste better?

I think it says on the box that they are flavoured. I have not been sampling Drontal or Milbemax!! I always thought getting Drontal down them was like taking paracetamol without a drink.

Are you sure Toddler?!?

BTW, I had a dream about you - you posted to say that you'd made a mistake and Snorg and Fatty were not actually cats, they were rabbits! I have no idea where that came from but I think it proves I spend too much time on the Litter Tray!

Well I just googled and apparently Milbemax are artificial beef flavoured. My fact for the day!

At work I do believe we should taste some of the medicine we are expecting the kids to take. However this does not stretch to the cat's!

Omg Pink. I just read the last bit of your post with a mouthful of coffee. I don't know how I didn't spit it out or inhale it. I did once find an enormous black house rabbit sitting by my car. He was easily the size of Magic.

The bit that I forgot was that you were taking the rabbits home to China with you...

I worry about myself sometimes!

We have Advocat and Drontal - sneaky pill pockets work for tablets. Back of the neck thing works for clalcat although she doesn't like it much.
