she due now to be done at the same time as my two males, ive ordered 6 tubes of it and am gona be doing the males as soon as they arrive, can mum be done too, if not when is safe to do mom and babies togethers? and how old do they kittens have to be to be wormed as older cats done 2 weeks ago?

if tried google and cannot find anything about frontline on nursing mums apart from many diff opinions and all are different, plus i cannot find the official frontline website no matter how i try lol, it comes up with loads but not the official one

Hang on a mo- I'll go and read the pack to be sure.

thanks hun xx

OK- the pack warnings would have a warning on if you couldn't use it in pregnant or nursing cats and it doesn't, so I would take it that they now have enough data to change the license to state that it is safe for use in pregnant and lactating queens.

You can't use it for the babies though, until they are 8 weeks old and weighing over 1kg. If mummy is treated though it should reduce their flea loading and you can still use the spray from very early age (a couple of days old if necessary I think).

Here's the official webby if you need any more information about what is safe:

do you mean frontline spray or any, im just worried if the babies ingest some off her neck it will harm them, i really want to do her as ive noticed some fleas on the babies, im gutted as didnt think she had any, never noticed none on any of them since last time i frontlined them

thanks for the website address, xx

I think you'll need to separate her from her babies until it's dried, but that's only for a short while and all you'll need to do is to pick a time when she's just fed them so they're all sleepy and full.

Frontline spray is the only flea spray worth bothering with as far as I'm concerned, even though it's a faff getting to the vets to buy it (it's not covered by the same part of vet licensing as the spot on treatment). Especially with tiny kittens I'd spot on treat mummy and then spray treat the babies and change their bedding at the same time.

yeah thanks so much, ill deffo do that, sorry im always asking things hun, but id rather get opinions b4 going ahead

thanks so much

ooo and one more thing the babies are a week old today and there eyes are open, 3 fully, 1 half, the last litter i had years ago this happened at 2 weeks, is this normal?

im sure it is, i just worry so much, thanks

For future reference, I always use the noah compendium for questions like these. Far more use than google :)
