Post subject: education needed on kimba

Okay girls its been a while since i've had a kitten as my eldest cat cleo is now about 9 i think.

Kimba is now about 8 months old and although i wormed and flead her when i had her i have completely forgot how often we are supposed to be treating her and every bloody site tells me different i know she definitely has worms as my daughter spotted one coming out yesterday so i wiped it with tissue Puke

Feel quite sick now but also very guilty Embarassed

i have just ordered some but it doesnt say anywhere how many they are supposed to take and how often Confused

i could have swore that when i last did her she had to have 1 every week for 4 weeks or something along those lines the only info the site gives is this.

Dosage

Give 1 tablet orally per 4 kg bodyweight. The coated tablets should be given directly but if necessary can be disguised in food. The tablets are scored into halves to enable a range of weights to be treated.

2kg bodyweight: ½ tablet
4kg bodyweight 1 tablet
6kg bodyweight 1½ tablets

Now if somone could translate that into english for me and fill in the gaps that would be great Laughing

In other words does anybody know what kg is in lbs lol.

Lol, it is confusing isn't it?
To simplify, a tiny cat (kitten really) might weigh 2kg, your average sized cat is likely to weigh 4kg and a large cat would weigh around 6kg, depending on the breed.
So assuming Kimba is of average size, I would just give her one tablet.
What worming tablets are they? If they are Drontal every 3 months should be fine. Hope that helps!

Another VERY GOOD question, gerbilpunk. Lots of people would like to know the answer - but politicians have their own way of working, and it often doesn't seem to be on the same planet as the rest of us.

Now, if dogs ruled the world..... Razz
