I worm at 4 weeks old with Panacur paste, again at 6, 9 and 12 weeks old with Milbemax and then monthly after that until they are 6 months old and then switch to once every 3 months (unless they hunt in which carry on monthly)
Thats what I've been doing, but I use Drontal instead of Milbemax.

lay me down, let me go, feeling heavy the ground is cold,
lay me down take it slow I'm ready to stumble, sing & then swing low

I would ask the Vet for milbemax wormer, it is a nice small tablet and the Vet will probably administer it for you there and then.

Well Milo was wormed at 14 weeks when he was in rescue with Panacur,

His now 18 weeks and I didn't know when he needs worming again, we're seeing the vet tonight for boosters so was going to get some then if need be

How old is the kitten and what wormer are you using?
