Well, according the the Cat Owner&#...Deworm or not? Well, according the the Cat Owner's Veterinary Handbook (3rd Edition) which is a very, very good book specially written by vets to educate cat owners and a must-have, the authors actually write that cats and kittens must not be given deworming medication if they are sick because the medication is actually poison but not harmful in the prescribed dosage. <br /><br />The way interpreted is that when a cat/kitten is sick, its body system and the vital organs are already being challenged and the deworming agent will add to it.<br /><br />But I guess that if you strongly suspect that a cat/kitten is made sick because of the worms in their body, you have no choice but to address the worm infestation.<br /><br />Xiao Li and Bandit might have already caught something just before entering your household and the infection was incubating in them. That is probably the reason why some kittens die or get sicker right after deworming.<br /><br />However, we are so glad the kids are getting better now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
