Advocat

[Helen]

Hi

I am new to the forum and wonder if anyone can help me with the topic of prevention of worms/fleas etc.

My 3 are treated with Advocat monthly, and every 3 months we go to the vet for a 'worming tablet' - is there something I can buy over the counter that can be taken alongside the Advocat which would deal with this as I am unsure which 'worm' the tablet is for that isn't covered by Advocat.

Apologies if this is a dumb question but it just isn't clear.

thanks
Helen

Advocate won't kill tapeworms - for that you can buy Drontal on-line - this is just one outlet http://www.animeddirect.co.uk/drontal-c ... tAodhmQA0w#" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

for advice on worming generally this site might be useful http://www.feline-friends.org.uk/feline-worms.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Ah fabulous - I was wondering about Drontal but didn't want to incorrectly mix my drugs. Thanks for the help.

Hi Helen. I use advocate as well which I get from my vets with a pet plan monthly payments thing. I find the spot ons a lot easier to use so I get profender on the plan as well. You just give it a week after the advocate and then every 3 months

Oh not heard of provender! I picked up some drontal on the way home so will give that a go first. Archie is no problem and will swallow anything you give him - hang up from being a hungry stray I think. Bronte wriggles a but but then takes it and sky we have yet to find out!

Thanks all for the advice

Our cat is ok with Advocate which I've just been able to use again after he had a bad reaction to Profender. Having read the Advocate leaflet again, I see that it also helps in the treatment of flea bite allergy which was a definite plus because Blackie has been suffering from this allergy for which he also had 2 Delvosteron injections.

As I can't use Profender anymore, I will now use Milbemax (a worming tablet).

Blackie's reaction to Profender is quite rare, so I'm told.
