Worming

[Erin]

hi ladies,ive just had a fight trying to get jerry to have his drontal tablet,its the same every time hes done :roll: ,this time though after spitting the tablet out a number of times, he spat it out and it fell behind the cupboard :roll: .
i was wandering if anybody knows of any other wormer thats easier than tablets,the panecure paste that we used when he was a kitten was soooooo much easier.
someone at work as said about a spot on treatment you can get from the vets,has anybody used this?

I use Milbemax, they are quite small and I can normally manage to diguise them in a bit of ham, cheese or primula cheese. Normally that works for me but not always:lol: Have had to chase Eva down the back garden path a few times with pill in hand:lol:

:lol: its a pain isnt it.jerry is really sulking hes not my friend at the moment thats for sure:roll: .
ive just rang the vets and to get this spot on stuff i have to have a consultation first so its going to cost 25 just to get him wormed :shock:

[QUOTE=Elaine;366027]I use Milbemax

I do too! I get a firm hold of Oli, open his mouth, pop the pill in and then hold his mouth closed with one hand, while I gently rub his throat to make him swallow it. ;)

I never have a problem with him swallowing it! I spose its just finding the knack of it! ;)

Give it a go, it well worth it, because you could end up saving £25. :)

I give Cassie Panacur Favourites, it's a chewable, palatable tablet with a beefy flavour. She will eat it out of my hand too;)

Like you, I always had trouble worming Cassie, she always spat the Drontal tabs out so my vet suggested these......

They cost approximately £4 for 2 tablets (2 treatments) online....
