I strongly recommend working all kittens (and puppies) as the worms are transmtted before weaning both directly from the mother and also through mothers milk when they are suckling. Worms can also be picked up from other cats faeces, swalloing fleas during grooming and eating prey animals such rodents; in affected areas slugs and snails can transmit worms in their slime trail also

    I recommend that all cats be dewormed. This dewormer will not hurt Orange in any way if given at the correct dose but it is important to know that it will only kill roundworms and will not protect Orange against whipworms or tape worms.
