Here's why:
* Safety: Certain deworming medications can be harmful to kittens, especially very young ones. A vet can determine the safest and most effective treatment for both the mother cat and her kittens.
* Specific needs: The type of worms and the age of the kittens will determine the best deworming method. Your vet can also advise on the frequency of treatment.
* Other health factors: The mother cat's overall health and any potential health issues in the kittens need to be considered before administering any medication.
Please reach out to your veterinarian for the best guidance on worming your cat and kittens. They can assess the situation, recommend the appropriate medication, and ensure the safety of both the mother and her litter.
