Need Kitten Experts, Please? Can I use Hemorrhoidal wipes on painful swollen kitten butt?

You ignore the dose on the bottle, just like you would ignore the dose on the bottle of Safeguard for goats when giving to chickens.

Okay, makes sense.

Added the dewormer to the cart, ordering it tomorrow.
I appreciate the help.

Actually cats can get fenbendazole, too (safeguard, panacur), but pretty sure they should be 8 weeks?

As for pyrantel, typicaldosing for cats and dogs is 1ml per 10lb (or 0.1ml per 1 lb) of 50mg/ml. Do it 1-2 days in a row repeat in 2 weeks and can do it again in 4 weeks. Can be given to cats and dogs as young as two weeks old. Veryvery wide safety margin. If roundworms are present, you might see them cone out the other end, just FYI!

So 11 mg per kg?

Gaaahhh!!! Math so early! Yes, it would convert to 11mg per kg. I do remember my vet saying the otc stuff like nemexx was less concentrated. You just have to give a lot more volume.

Here's a picture. The swelling is reduced, I've been applying Triple Antibiotic ointment to it every now and then, because it's the only thing I thought of in this strange situation.

Have you ever expressed an anal glan?

Have you ever expressed an anal glan?

No, but I've seen how it's done.
She's been having normal poos after the big hard one the other day, so I don't believe that's her problem.

I ordered the dewormer, it'll arrive Wednesday.

She kitten shouldn't need it. I thought it was older cat!
