Re: greedy kitten


How old is she? Has your vet said anything about her weight..normal, too plump, etc? She may be trying to train you !

Please don't be offended but is the worming syrup you use from a vet or a pet-shop? The reason I ask is that the pet-shop treatments are generally not as effective as those available at the vets, and so the worms are not fully dealt with.

Re: greedy kitten


I agree with Mrs H. The vet could also advise re appropriate dosage for kitten of her age etc. - some tablets deal with more than one sort of worm!!! Good luck - let us know how kitty gets on.

Re: greedy kitten


ok, so yeh it was syrup from pets at hom? not good?? they are due to go to the vets a week on monday for their check up and first vacc. they had some poached chicken last night then some wet food about 10.30pm, they went fast asleep! my boyfriend got home at 2am, said they were meowing and fed them again!!!! i got up this morning to a little pile of sick and a lot of poos had ben done in the tray! obviously this is partly because they got too much food, but anything else that could cause this? the one that was meowin so much for food doesnt look like she has a round tummy and she plays as normal, i dont know what to do i feel so bad i just want her to be ok!!

Re: greedy kitten


Is there any way you could take her to the vet for her check up a bit earlier? Just over a week to go a small kitten with worms may be too long. Give the vet a ring, I would.

Re: greedy kitten


It wormed i guess but normal medication should help remove it.
