Worm treatment for 5 week old kittens

I can't give them tablets because they're so small, so I'm looking for a liquid- type treatment. Any suggestions?

Panacur is the one you need, comes in a syringe and you squirt it into their mouths.

Carpathian2 · 23/09/2019 09:52

Thankyou for your reply. Is it vet only?

Ahem.. isn't there something you are forgetting OP?

Carpathian2 · 23/09/2019 12:12

Panacur is available OTC. Just read the dosage information carefully. Kittens hate the flavour but it's easy to squirt right to the back of their little mouths...

Carpathian2 · 23/09/2019 12:38

Ah, I see. I've just ordered some & thanks for the advice

WE DEMAND PICTURES!!

Yes I meant pictures, it's litter tray law that all posts about kittens must be accompanied by pictures!

“Easy to squirt in their little mouths” my advice is to make sure you’re not wearing anything that will look bad with white liquid on it at least the first time you do it!

TheQueef · 23/09/2019 15:07

Come on you've five! Show us your kitties!

dementedpixie · 23/09/2019 15:29

I has to wrap mine burrito style in a towel and then slide the tip of the syringe in between the clamped together side teeth as no way were they opening their mouth for it!! It is done by weight though so make sure you know how heavy they are before dosing

TheQueef · 23/09/2019 15:44

It's amazing how far 2mil of the white stuff goes when it sprays straight through.

DoctorTwo · 23/09/2019 16:15

@Carpathian2 there are RULES.

Carpathian2 · 24/09/2019 16:45

Sorry everyone, I've only just managed to come back to this!!

So, I give you my kittens 🐱
