When to bring them to the vet?

Slipper · 01-31-2012, 10:26 AM

I'm wondering when to bring my two 6 week old kittens for their first vet appointment. Is there any reason I should take them right away or would it be best to wait a few weeks?

Since they are so young and since the previous owner doesn't seem like she knew much about feline health/behavior (or didn't care), I would take them in immediately and make sure they are healthy and don't have parasites (fleas AND worms).

Yep. Take them in right away.

Yes...absolutely immediately...they need their first round of vaccinations.
