At 4 weeks old you shouldn’t give the kitty anything without the vet’s approval. Sounds like you need to bring her in for a checkup and get some good meds. Revolution is the only wormer I’d use on a kitten that young. You can get it from the vet and it costs about $13 for a dose. Your vet can discuss a repeat dose schedule with you. Revolution treats heartworms, hookworms, roundworms, fleas, ticks, and ear mites. It’s a very good medicine. Get your kitten to the vet ASAP. BTW, a kitten that young should not be away from it’s mom. If someone gave you this kitten, you should take it back to it’s mother after the vet visit if you can.

How’d a little baby like that end up being away from his mom? Yes, roundworms are very common in kittens, but anything over the counter is not meant for one that little. He needs to go to the vet to get an accurate weight on him, and then dosed with an appropriate wormer, probably Pyrantel. If he can be returned to Mom he should, but if that’s not possible then read up on the information here:http://www.kittenrescue.org/handbook.htm

All the products have warnings on them as to how hyoung a cat it can be used on, but after the catastrophe that is Hartz products, rather check with your vet first.
