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.

I get the extra strength fish forte which is exactly the same....think it  
is 174 mg, same as droncit.  Jeffers and revival have it fairly  inexpensive.

Praziquantel (the active ingredient in Droncit) is available OTC.  One can
buy tapeworm dewormers containing praziquantel without a  prescription from
feed stores, PETCO, PetsMart, online, catalogs,  etc.
