I use tablets for my adult cats and have some paste in currently (only 3 tubes) but wondered if anyone had used the liquid form at all, particularly for kittens and how sucessful it was if you did?

I had some for the pups and kittens I think, it definitely wasn't a paste it was sort of milky stuff, it was fine you gave it via a little pipette, they do get it everywhere though and don't like the taste, so you usually have babies with a white tash and beard, and you looking like you have been painting with the most splashy roller in the world :hihi:

lol similar to the paste then by the sounds of it!! Its just (and I may be wrong here) working out the doesage and cost of each the liquid seems cheaper. I may get some in then unless anyone wants to offer a differing view? Just want to make sure I have enough to worm everything!! lol

I've used it with success when fostering ferals, incl feral kittens. I just coat the food with it and down it goes. Works well on tuna for the fussier ones. If feeding more than one I totalled up the amount due and put it all on over one or two bowls; generally the bigger cats would eat more of it anyway. And if in doubt I'd repeat the dose a few days later.

A lot easier than trying to get tablets in them!

I wasnt going to use tablets never fear!! I have troubl enough with the adult cats with those!! Medusa had recommended the paste which I have but think I may give the liquid a go too so I know I have enough in.

Thanks Moonbird and Henhugger for the advice :)

Yep - I think loads use the panacur liquid. Much gentler and easier for the youngsters as anything with a potential heavy burden (even older animals like horses / dogs or cats) the panacur 5 day wormer is gentler. I have known many animals die from being wormed if they have a heavy burden and are wormed in one go.

Order them from petmeds or hyperdrug - much cheaper.

I'm hoping to order some in the next week, Panacur and Advocate. I'll let you know where I find it cheapest?

OK both are safe for kittensbut would people suggest the 10% or the 2.5% or will it not matter - obviously I realise the dosage differs though :)

Peaches I have been looking online and so far vetuk have been the best that I have found.... will post prices later if you havent beaten me to it!

I use it all the time on snakes and lizards it is the best for what we require and tropical worms and parasites can be hard to get rid of.

I use Panacur 10% liquid for all my kittens or puppy needs. its easy to use in a tiny mouth and is effective so does the job.

Thanks vizsla - think I may go for the 10%.

would make sense to use the higher concentration, then you need to use less of it, and if putting it on food as I do it won't taint it as much taste-wise.

it works out better cost wise too so yup am going to buy the 10%... thanks everyone :)
