Help! Too many cat worming tablets.

We have a rescue cat and gave her a Drontal worming tablet today. Realised, too late, that her last set of worming stuff, administered a month ago, was three monthly too - Milbemax (not administered by us, and vet kept pushing a monthly combo, so we got mixed up in our heads).

We feel awful. Really bad.

So essentially she’s had her worming dose two months early. Is this something we need to consult the vet about or can we just keep and eye on her?

Don't panic. She'll be fine.

Thank you so much (and for your help with CHAT!). We love our rescue cat and don’t want to hurt her!

We were advised by the vet to use it monthly as ours never stop killing. Sure you will be fine x

She'll be fine. I find milbemax much easier to find than drontal as the tablets are smaller.

Thank you. Good point about milbemax - she managed to get the drontal down after two attempts (wrapped in cat putty) but it was touch and go.
