Can you please tell me about cat-worm tablet strengths?
They will need to be wormed again as they have not had the full dose. Darn dog!
I advise you to give your vet a ring to ask how long to wait before the next dose, as even professional opinions differ slightly on this so I wouldn’t take the word of anyone on here – including mine!

EDIT: What does rachel mean by ‘transients’?! How offensive! Does she not know the difference between indoor/outdoor cats and ferals?!
EDIT 2: It is NOT pointless to deworm an outdoor cat, since Drontal protects them against roundworm and tapeworm infestation for 3 months, fleas or no fleas.
it goes by their weight, if they don’t get enough, it won’t kill the eggs in the cat’s digestive system. if they get TOO moch it CAN kill them (my vet almost o.d.’d my cat) please take them to a cheap or free clinic day at the vet, or at least get a qualified vet to give you an honest answer regarding the right weight-to-dosage ratio.
Deworming an outdoor only cat is pretty much a fruitless effort. You can give them heartworm preventatives, but as far as tapeworms, it’s pretty pointless. If they are outdoors constantly they probably have fleas and fleas=tapeworms.
If you want to continue dosing them, you will have to do it every two to four weeks.
WANT PROOF? Praziquantel and pyrantel pamoate should not be used in animals allergic to it. Because humans can contract tapeworm from animals, it is important to maintain good personal hygiene. It is also important to eliminate fleas on the pet and in the household and to not feed the pet rodents or uncooked meat or fish. To prevent reinfection, daily cleanup of stools is recommended. Consult your veterinarian before giving to sick or pregnant animals.
In the event of overdose
Worming tablets stay in their system for 3 months. It is not a good idea to crush tablets into their food as firstly the problem you have and secondly tablets are meant to dissolve in the stomach slowly. hen they are crushed they get a strong dose all at once. You can buy Exelpet chews for worming. the first time my cat ate the whole thing with no problems. the second time she didn’t want it so i broke it up into pices in her dry food. She ate most and then another cat came and ate the rest. My cat is a small cat and she ate nearly all of it so I am going to wait for the next dose. you could try contacting the company or a vet to find out what to do.
