Pregnancy and birth can be difficult for both animal and owner, and here at Hyperdrug we always recommend having the supplies you need before your pet is due to give birth.

Worming is vital if the kittens are to survive and thrive. We would always recommend Panacur for their first worming and the Panacur Liquid in particular as this is the easiest way to ensure the correct dosage. Panacur also have a worming paste if you find it difficult to administer the liquid.

Dopram V is also a crucial medicine to keep to hand when your cat is due to give birth. Dopram V is a powerful medicine used in special care baby units, and is designed to help stimulate breathing. Dopram V must be administered at the correct dose rate for the weight.

It is also important to have milk and colostrum replacer to ensure all kittens are fed if the queen cannot produce enough for her litter. Kitten Colostrum is vital as their first feed as it is particularly rich, and contains vital vitamins and minerals. We also have a range of milk replacers, KMR as well as our own value brand Hyperdrug Milk Replacer. KMR comes as either KMR Powder or KMR Liquid, depending on your personal preference. We would also recommend keeping a Mothering Kit on hand to ensure that feeding of the kittens is as easy as possible.
