i'll just put my two-penneth in. You can worm every 2 weeks as advised, personally I wouldn't but that's just me. Depending on their age now, I would do them in 3-4 weeks with milbemax. Make sure you worm their mother too. |

The fact Maisey has very bad runs is probably due to her having worms. Please follow Smudgleys good advise. A good wormer from the vet will solve her problems. A wormer will do her NO harm, if anything it will help her and her kittens health. The mother and kittens should have been wormed WEEKS ago. Added some info for you below (please read)... What causes colitis in cats?There are several causes of colitis including; Certain bacteria (Salmonella and Campylobacter), viruses, fungi. Dietary allergy or intolerance Parasites (intestinal worms, protozoal) Pancreatitis Cancer Dietary indiscretion (eating garbage, spoiled food, human foods, foreign object) Stress What are the symptoms of colitis in cats? The most obvious sign of colitis is diarrhea, possibly outside the litter tray because of the 'urgency' to go. The stool is often soft or watery & may contain blood or mucus. Other symptoms may include; Straining (tenesmus) in the litter tray causing discomfort Frequent defecation Diarrhea (the stool may start out normal but finish off loose or watery) There may be blood or mucus in the stool Reduced appetite Constipation Vomiting Dehydration Abdominal pain Chronic colitis can lead to weight loss |

Thanks for that. I just phoned her vets up and i can worm her. The only problem being it might not be as effective because of her colitas. She wasa dumped cat and in my heart of hearts i think this is why she was dumped in the first place. She is such a little poppet as well |

All she needs is for SOMEBODY to worm her (please listen, did you read the info highlighted in red?). Have YOU ever wormed Maisey? Maisey clearly has worms, thats where her kittens have got it from. Did you really take Maisey to the vets? Cos a vet wouldn't have diagnosed 'Colitis' in your first visit without worming her first!!!!! A vet would not just give a diagnosis of Colitis without taking a stool sample and blood tests. Mmmmmm, scratching my chin here..... All this cat needs imo is a good cat wormer! |

Yes i did. Have you been on this site before. If you looked into my previous posts you see that she found me on june the 2nd i took her too the vets within a wk and paid for ab and a painkiller. I cant speak for the previous owner at all as she was dumped. I did wormer her within 2 days of her coming into my house for my other cats sake. I took her too the vets last tuesday and took her back this tuesday the vet said she had colitas due too her eating kitten food she has kittens. The first time she was given some tablets which she didnt tolarate so the second time she was given an injection and thats whats made her looser. She is going back in 2 wks for a check up and too see when she can get speyed |

It was liquid (panacure) The vets said it would be ok to use it on her. I mixed it in with her food with no problem They have all started to firm up as well and Spirit the one that didnt want too eat ate all by herself tonight |

That is not a strong enough wormer for an adult cat!!!!! I find it hard to believe a vet told you to use that  And it only deals with round worms, not tapeworms properly.... Just buy a good worming tablet please, or this cat will never get better. Please listen to FREE advise given on here.... Wishing maisey all the best, and her kittens, |
