dewormer?

Hmm, have you tried calling or contacting the veterinary clinic? I'm sure they would have information on that. I've never had to do that so I can't offer any insight, but I bet you could contact your local vet for information or advice.

Tape worm dewormers are actually pretty easy to find. Your not looking in the right places though :) Farmer's Coops(in rural areas) or Tractor Supply will be your best bet. I have seen some at Walmart, not sure on the brands, I really don't trust most of those. There is one you can buy at the store, I think it's called D-Worm, a blue and white bottle. There's another kind I haven't seen as much, it's in a small box and it's a powder, think it's something like Safe T, and the box color is dependent on the size of the animal. Both of those work good, but expensive, the vet prescription was actually cheaper for me. Try calling your vet up, they can sell you something as well. I have a great "country" vet that doesn't make me bring my animals in for every little thing. I asked him for an "all around" dewormer because some of my cats go outside, and eat other animals-I know I don't like this even though it's natural for them, but it's that or peeing on my shoes, so they're more prone to round worm infections, as well as tape worms from fleas. Then, my dogs like to clean the litter box for me, so they can pick up any infections that way as well.....so he gave me some Panacur, which takes care of round worms, tape worms, I think hook worms, and another type of worm. Was 16.00 for a bottle of it, and good for dogs and cats. For tape worms though, with most of the meds out there, you need to treat for 3 consecutive days, then again in 2 weeks for 3 days to get any eggs that hatch.

I personally would not use anything you can get over-the-counter for deworming. I know it can get costly, so I would take them to a vaccination clinic (if you have one in your area) and let a licensed vet give them the proper dose of the medicine. Another idea is, if you are going to put your kittens up for adoption, you choose a well established adoption group or rescue organization who know exactly what to give and how much to give. I recently did this with my kittens. I would not fool around with anything you don't know about, especially the over-the-counter stuff. Kittens are delicate and they need the absolute proper dose and medicine to do the job. They also have to be weighed in order to know the correct dosage.
