    Prices of dewormer are outrageous here. When I lived in Malaysia with my cats it cost me only 5 ringgit's a month per cat. Soooo cheap! Vet care here in canada is ridiculously expensive! 😖

    HEllo I take care of a ferral cat which lives outside by my office. I want to use the Safe guard dewormer liquid form(fenbendazole) sold for goats to use on this cat. Was going to put it in some wet cat food for her. you mentioned in the video you have to dose it multiple times? The cat is smaller under 10 pounds. I did read the back of the Amazon sold product and it says for a 25 pound goat to use 0.6ml...so maybe half of that dose to use on this cat since she is smaller...I just want to know if I need to give her a repeated dosage. I plan to buy the product and maybe there will be more instructions inside the packaging..all I could see was the back label that said 0.6ml for 25 pounder. thank you for the great video and for help with the pets and yes I know this fenbendazole does not treat tapeworms...I just wanted to give her the broad spectrum protection since she is a wild cat. thank u sterling

    Mallory have you heard of the holistic deworming option of raw pumpkin seeds and food grade diatomaceous earth? If so are those effective? I tried the Bayer cat deworming pill once. the only way to tell if your cat has worms (besides stool sample) is if they have a stinky butt with oval things on it correct?

      From what I’ve read the DE works well. I believe it’s half a teaspoon for 7 days. It can also be applied topically for fleas but you do have to be careful of the dust irritating your cats eyes and nose. I’ve tried it for one 7 day cycle but she didn’t have worms or fleas, it was just for maintenance. So whether it really works or not I have no experience to speak from. Thanks for reminding me to try it again 🙂

    My cat's an indoor/outdoor cat and I've been using a monthly flea treatment which also treats roundworm, hookworm, ear mites, lungworm and prevention of heartworm. I'm in Australia, so I don't know if things are all that different, but I'm hoping this is a good basis. Thankfully she's never had any problems and I make sure I give it to her each month. Just wondering on your opinion on "over the counter", store bought type treatments like these? Thanks for all the education you keep bringing us!😊😺

      @dare2music645 hi! These days, I'm getting products for this online as it's much more economical. I don't have a credit card (I always get into financial disasters when I get one), so I just ask my brother to use his, etc. I'm getting a brand called Bravecto which lasts 3 months rather than one. I've used it on my cat for about 6 months now, and all seems fine - she just hates having it administered (no change there!) I can imagine with 5 cats, it could be very expensive if you were buying it how I was originally. You'd be spending about $100 a month 😬, there are options out there. Hope this is some help even though I'm certainly not a vet!

    I've never needed to deworm my cats. I'll call the vet's office this week and ask if it is something we should be doing. They've never needed it, they are indoor exclusively other than the catio we have built for them on our deck. This is important information to have and I will call the vets office and ask if this is something we should be doing.

    • @TVDAnnu
      @TVDAnnu 10 місяців тому +2

      It's not really "deworming" as it is a preventative and cautionary method. Even if they are indoor only, you can still bring in worms yourself (with your shoes for example). You also have a catio, as she mentioned worms can be transferred by bugs like mosquitos and etc. It is important to regularly give worm medicine to your pets, 4 times a year. More often if they eat raw food.

    So I'm unsure weather 2 get advocate or go revolution/ revolution plus?
    He is 10 yrs old I've been blessed 2 have him since 2015 he was a stray living on a bin across the road the lady would feed the strays.
    It was odd because he was desexed not microchip he is 2 Mr now but he either ran away,got lost or sadly dumped.
    If dumped totally my gain im SOOOOOO lucky 2 have hom very very blessed🙏😻🐾❤️
    But in Australia can buy revolution over counter at animal places.
    So do you think advocate isn't good 4 my kitty revolution better?
