Most dewormers for cats are very safe. However, to make sure the drugs will continue to work, you should check with your vet before deworming your cat - he'll be able to tell you not only if your cat has worms, but also what type of worms and what medications are effective against those worms.

How old does a rabbit have to be to be wormed?

Rabbits do not need regular de-worming medicine like dogs or horses. They only need de-wormer if they actually have worms. You will know if your rabbit has worms because you will see them in the poop. DO NOT DE-WORM YOUR RABBIT UNLESS YOUR RABBIT OBVIOUSLY HAS WORMS!!! I don't know how old the rabbit has to be, but I don't think there is any minimum age. If you do discover worms in your rabbit's poop, TAKE HIM TO THE VET IMMEDIATELY!!! DO NOT BUY DOG OR CAT DE-WORMER AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT THE AMOUNT YOURSELF!!! YOU WILL PROBABLY MESS UP AND KILL YOUR RABBIT!!! So, bottom line, if your rabbit has worms, take him to the vet and let the vet worry about the medicine.
