Kitten have worms but she is still tiny..direction pls?
I got my siamese kitten at 13 weeks from a breeder she was vaccinated etc but have a huge pot belly.
After a visit to the vet he was pretty worried and said her intestine be thickened and he wormed her with a worming paste.
we bought the blend and wormed her 2 weeks later like the vet said.
She is now 5 months, and is a natural bundle of mischief but i am worried she is still sooo tiny.
She weighs 4lbs and is all in proportion. I follow she should be almost fully grown but she is so little. could the worms have stunted her growth. Is there anything i could do to generate her grow bigger, she is fed on james wellbeloved kitten and whiskas kitten food.
we wanted to breed her at 12months old but will this be possible?
Before you breed her attain advice from you vet if she is to small you could be putting her and any kittens lives in menace.
mine was exactly approaching that when she was a kitten...got rid of the worms.but she never ever grew like her sister did...she lived to the impressive old age of 20 though, so she must have been on form!
I wouldn't worry at all about it
Answers: That's not tiny for 5 months, that's a short time ago about right. Cats aren't fully grown until they're almost 2 years old. If the cat still have the worms, that can cause them to not grow as much because the worms are sucking the nutrients out of them. They cause the cat to be sick. However, once you get rid of them, it doesn't rob long for the cat to gain some weight back and get in good health. Some cats just stay smaller. It depends on their genes and how well they are taken care of.
I specifically wouldn't breed your cat. There's already enough animals in this world that are HOMELESS! Besides, if you're this ignorant about something as simple as worming a cat and knowing how big your cat should be, how do you think you're going to handle the cat have babies? What if she isn't a good mom--are you going to be prepared to take protection of those few day old kittens?? Not spaying your cat puts her at alot of risk for diseases. There's a lot more to it than you have a sneaking suspicion that! Just get her SPAYED!!
