| Pyrantel Embonate Nematocide/Dewormer For Cats and Dogs |
I ordered a small 15mL bottle of this Pyrantel Embonate dewormer for cats/dogs. I just tested it for the first time with 1mL mixed with Angel's food. The instruction says 4mL per kilogram of cat, but it looked too much and I followed my instinct to use 1mL. The following day, the result has shown that it was already able to help flush out some worms. The dosage on the box was wrongly listed, and that the correct dosage is 1mL of nematocide per 1kg of cat.
However, one bottle wasn't enough and I was up to a second bottle, this time 60mL. It still wasn't working. Apparently, you need 'Praziquantel', which specifically targets tapeworms. Tapeworms are the most common infestation in cats, so likely you will need the Praziquantel. I suggest that you skip this article and instead read my review for the VetMate Antithemintic Vermifuge Suspension (Pyrantel Embonate + Praziquantel).

I gave my persian cat a 4ml/kilogram.what will happen to my innocent cat?what should i do?
ReplyDeleteIs it fine?
DeleteThis is fine. The dosage on the box is correct. Cats have shorter instestine than dogs and they have more acidic stomach, so they pass food more quickly. That’s why you need 4ml/kg. You cannot overdose your cat with this. Their bodies cannot process pyrantel embonate, meaning they just pass it to their stool. It’s only job is to kill the worms. It says in the medicine information there is effects of overdose when you use x7 of the required dosage. Meaning if you use 28ml/kg of dosage at a time, then it starts to get dangerous. So don’t worry, kitty is fine.

ReplyDeleteOh no, sorry for the super late reply, I don't get notifications. I use 1mL for all my cats regardless of age and it does the job.
Deletemay cat died today because of side effect of this drug..it really hurts me so much..i just want to keep him healthy..i gave 8ml my cat is 2.25 kilo same with my other cat..they were ok.. guilty..i regret to give this drug to my cat
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about that. I give my cats 1mL and it does the job. It should not be administered on an empty stomach or withfasting.
DeleteOh nO! I'm scared now to give my cat. He's 4 kgs and so I need to give 16ml, and I have 15ml of this medicine, so 1 bottle is not enough. But I have two bottles. But I'm thinking if is this really ok? 'coz I think it's too much. Can someone help me?
DeleteI used this to my 3 month old kitten, I just gave her 1 ml and I am not sure when will I give her again. Is it okay? I need answers. Please.
ReplyDeleteEvery two weeks for the first 3 months, then once every three months.
DeleteHello can i still use an opened bottle of nematocide after 3 months in a refrigerator?
ReplyDeleteHi, you can still use it within the expiration period indicated in the box and bottle.
DeleteThe 1ml per kilo for cat is correct. The differences for cat and dog dosages has to do with the way the different species metabolize various medications. If you would like you can break down the dosage for the cat into four separate 1ml doses within a twenty-four hour period.

ReplyDeleteThis january 2023 i deworm my 3 month old cat nematocide . 3 weeks later i noticed a white live worms in her poop; a tapeworm . I think nematocide dewormer do not cater tapeworms . Should i deworm again even if its still not due for the next schedule ? Any advice or what deworming medicine should i give to my cat for tapeworm ? Hoping for your respond . Thank you .
ReplyDeleteHello anonymous! Yes, it is not enough for tapeworms. You need a pyrantel that has PRAZIQUANTEL, which targets tapeworms. You may wait for the next week before another dose. Hope this helps.
DeleteHello. Since it says on the bottle that 4ml pero
ReplyDelete1 kg, that means that i should give my 3kg cat a 12 ml of pyrantel embonate?
