https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/nonclinical-discussions/17880/worms-and-kittens Hi there, quick question! When do you all start to worm kittens and what with? This seems to be a bit of a grey area in my practice as in is it the same as puppies? or do you start when they hit half a kilo or when they are 4-6 weeks of age?

I&#39;ve always promoted worm.control at 2/5/8 weeks and poss again before leaving breeder in some cases. Then once a month from 12 weeks til 6 months, then every 3-4 months.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/131550?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 01 Jun 2012 19:37:56 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:53278c68-3370-47fd-b935-7f433b9b2f98Hannah25uk<p>Think it depended on the individual vet at my practice however unlike&nbsp;dogs, cats do not pass on worms to kittens via the placenta so&nbsp;they aren&#39;t born with them instead they&nbsp;are passed on through suckling and so worming doesn&#39;t need to start until&nbsp;6 weeks of age.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/131547?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 01 Jun 2012 17:50:41 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:90c326f2-897c-460d-be42-f37149c10020Lauren Innes Bsc(hons) , RVN<p>[quote user=&quot;Sophie Bedford RVN MBVNA CC PHC&quot;]</p> <p>We worm kittens with panacur a 2/5/8 weeks, don&#39;t forget to make sure mum has been wormed aswell.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>same here</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/131546?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 01 Jun 2012 17:38:49 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:c6c4d415-28f3-47ea-8b63-3513c4b2d331Sophie Bedford RVN CertVNECC<p>We worm kittens with panacur a 2/5/8 weeks, don&#39;t forget to make sure mum has been wormed aswell.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
