Deworming Kittens: How to have a Healthy Cat

  • Deworming cats or kittens is important. Kittens can be born with worms transmitted from their mother. Most of the time we won't see them in the stool. This is why deworming is so important at a young age. Most deworming programs start as early as 2 - 3 weeks of age. De-worming kills the adult stage of the worm. As eggs hatch, additional deworming is necessary. For this reason, your veterinarian will likely recommend multiple doses.

    It poops them out. You will notice them in the cat's stool, however my understanding is that worms are dead by the time they come out.

      There should not be any problem with vaccines and general deworming. Always ask your Veterinarian specifically regarding your pet.

      Pyrantel is a very common dewormer used primarily against roundworms and hookworms in cats. Common brand names for pyrantel include Strongid and Nemex. Usually dosed at 4 weeks of age or older followed by a second dose 2 weeks later. Multiple doses may be necessary beyond the two weeks as directed by your veterinarian. We always recommend taking a fecal sample to your Veterinarian.
