Pam I've used it in the past and it worked well for me....however, I've
always been told you should never worm a kitten younger than 8 weeks of age.
If you want a safe prescription wormer give Pete a call. He'll sell you the
wormer and the right dosage and no office call. You'll need to pick it up
at his place in Sandstone....Deanna
