Cats? Dead easy, dpack: Droncit spot on is the stuff. Just drip it on the back of the cat's neck when she's not looking! I've found a couple of products, so off to the friendly vet in the morning...
ta , i dont have to at the moment but wrapping in the past has been horrid for the victim and the cat dont seem to like it either .
i never got the art of letterboxing cats properly
neck splosh sounds easy .
thankyou for saving me in future.
Well this is the stuff we used on ours. I am asuming it is the same name worldwide (or at least Europe-wide).
It is advisable to worm them two weeks before slaughter (whether or not you suspect worms) just to flush out anything that may be in the intestines and obviousely unwanted in your meat products. Not only that, but if you intend to take them to an abbatoire for slaughter (we didn't) they will insist on them being wormed beforehand.
The sachet contained a powder which we simply added to the regular feed bucket and Monsoir cochon wolfed it down as normal.
Much easier than cats Dpack. Much hungrier than cats for that matter

Thanks for all that, chaps: the vet's getting me some in.

So is that the worming equivalent of the drip-on flea stuff for cats ?
Sounds much easier than the usual tussle with worming tablets.
[Though my vet gave me a plastic device called a 'Pillgiver' - much less risk of being bitten, or of the cat spitting out the tablet. And since it's so much quicker, the little darling doesn't get a chance to p*** on me.]

Gil: yes, it's the same idea. I usually sneak up on them when they're asleep!

Did you go for the Flubenol?
If so what did you pay as a matter of interest?
Just checked out Farmrite, works out at �36.43 inc P&P & VAT.
My local supplier, who I have to drive passed today, �28.45 inc VAT.!!
Cheers

Hello Dean, m'dear: how's life in sunny Cheshire?
The vet came and did the injections for me (cause I'm a wimp) and used Panamec which did the trick. They're looking good and the first is for the chop in two weeks.
