Hi, my 2 kittens I think have worms. I would like to take them to the vet to get all of the worms treated (I dont know what kind, and I just want them all to go away)

I need to get the money, so I just wanted to know, approx how much would it cost to get tests done/medication?

I live in Canada by the way

Thanks alot.

What TYPE of worms? If its just ringworm and you see little fragments or worms in their poo, then you can get soem OTC treatment for less than $10 at places such as Walmart

It would depend on your Vet,if you could just get a medicine,becuase if you take them in,he will probably charge you for a visit.
But you should probably have them looked at,as Kittens can be fragile.

It depends on your area, the vet's regular fees, and the medicine involved. I just took my Harry and Abby Friday for their yearly shots -- the bill came to $128 US. The typical vet visit around here is $45 just to see the vet, per cat, plus any meds or tests.

Since they are kittens doseage can be somewhat tricky so a vet is pretty much necessary. Call around to the vets and see who offers the best prices. There is a huge difference (I live in Wisconsin, US and office visits in my area vary from $25-75). Usually vets who serve the farming communities have lower rates. Most vets in my experience will let you postdate a series of checks to time pay for services, so ask about that too. You might call the humane society and see if they can help you or suggest thces e most affordable services in your area.
