My cat missed tapeworm meds. Can I give a second dose later?

Question

Ho I wanted to know if I can give my cat a second dose of tapeworm meds after 24 hours of the forest dose doesn't work or if she doesn't take all of it. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | 8 lbs

This will depend on the type of tape worm medication. You should use only a proper tape worm medication containing praziquantel or one prescribed by your veterinarian. If your cat regurgitates the praziquantel wormer you can give her another dose the next day. If she only took part of it, give her the rest of the dose preferably 1/2 hour later.
