Probably roundworm, so Advocate would work also. Our Bayer rep said that Profender can be used as frequently as weekly, although this would be off license.

took 3 doses drontal and 2 doses milbemax (alternated) - only after the last dose of drontal did we stop seeing 'rice' followed that lot with a dose of profender a month later.

She also said it was a bad move, as soon as his "visitors" were gone all the food he ate packed on every part of his body.

Think it took Sal about 4 lots of drontal to hammer Morris "visitors"

I would worm her again - with either drontal or milbemax - but I would wait 2-3 days. For 2 reasons - to let any remaining drug get out of the system and also to see if the vomitting stops. Although cats do lose weight and condition if they have an awful lot of worms, it is unusual in adults. I'd want to rule out any other reason for vomitting/weight loss. How old is she?

I would worm her again too but maybe use Profender! No risk of her vomiting it up then :D

you can worm monthly btw if need be by manufacture's instruction. So I would have though three/four weeks would be fine to use another Profender (but in date!!)

hehe Thanks Gillian!!

She is 3 years old. She is well otherwise, eating, drinking etc.

At least I know now that she definitely has worms. I am concerned about the weight loss though. I will wait until tomorrow and drontal her again.

Many thanks

hehe I know what you mean!!

Her name is Tiger-Lily, though we just call her Tiger. We use her full name when she has done something she is not supposed to have lol!!

She gave me 'a look of defiance' before she popped out of the window the minx!!

I would say if it was absorbed then it would be a very minimal amount! so worming again should be fine

Oooh cats are naughty creatures arnt they! they seem to just know when you want them to stay inside!

Thanks Charlotte.

I have a notion what you said is right!

The drontal was dissolved in the food, I could see the clump of white powder. But the fact that it came back up at all makes me feel her body has not absorbed any of it.

She is a little minx as she has now gone outside (got out through an open window) and I really wanted her inside tonight so I would know if she had been sick again.

how disolved was the drontal? if it was whole I would be happy to give another one tomorrow.

If your not happy doing that then you should be able to give milbimax as it contains milbemycin and drontal is praziquantal and I'm pretty sure there are no contraindications of using both these anthalmentics together/near each other, correct me if im wrong
