Drontal is a broad spectrum dewormer used in cats and kittens to treat tapeworm hookworms and roundworms and is available with prescriptions for cats and kittens over one month old. You can buy discount Drontal (Praziquantel and Pyrantel Pamoate) online through online Canadian pharmacies.

The presence of tapeworms is indicated by the observance of tapeworm segments passed in the cat's feces. Tapeworm segments are white, pinkish-white or yellow-white in color and are similar in size and shape to flattened grains of rice. The segments are most frequently observed lying on a freshly passed stool. Segments may also be found on the hair around the anus of the animal or on the animal's bedding. Cats become infected with tapeworms after eating fleas or small mammals (rabbits, mice) which may be infected with tapeworm larvae.

Hookworms are small whitish or reddish-brown worms less than one inch in length that lives in the intestinal tract and feed on blood. Cats can become infected with hookworms by swallowing infected larvae while grooming or when larvae from the environment burrow through the skin. Cats infected with hookworms may have poor physical condition, dull hair coat, and reduced body weight and diarrhea, sometimes with the presence of dark blood.

Large roundworms are white or yellow-white strands 2-7 inches in length (similar in size and color to smooth strings of spaghetti) that may be observed in the cat's vomit or feces. Cats become infected with large roundworms by swallowing infective eggs, particularly while grooming, or by ingestion of mice that may be infected with larval stages.

The benefits of Drontal are that it is proven to eradicate the most common intestinal parasites. It offers an easy single dose administration and each tablet is scored for easy breakage. It can be taken with food or by mouth fairly easily by the kitten.

Drontal’s active ingredients are praziquantel, pyrantel pamoate and febantel. Praziquantel works by damaging the skin internally, so the parasite is removed by the pet’s immune system. Pyrantel pamoate is active against hookworms and ascarids and acts as a blocking agent, causing paralysis.

Side effects are rare but can include loss of appetite, increased salvation, vomiting and diarrhea. Talk to your veterinarian about any side effects your kitten is suffering from and he or she will be able to tell you if it is from taking this medication.
