Fish Tapes Forte is excellent for worming large dogs, but this dosage would harm/kill a cat. The correct dosage of praziquantel for cats weighing 5 to 11 lb. is only 23mg. The dosage for cats that are over 11 lb. is 34mg. Regular strength Fish Tapes contain 34 mg of praziquantel. I mention this because Candy was asking about worming cats, not dogs.

Jeffers and revival have it fairly inexpensive.

One can buy tapeworm dewormers containing praziquantel without a prescription from feed stores, PETCO, PetsMart, online, catalogs, etc. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
