Look up ticks n u will find it.Not saying that his video is a tick
I don't disagree that ticks can be attached and not yet attached, but I don't want to confuse the op about what this insect is and how to treat it. Not all flea medicines treat ticks, but that is not a tick in the video, so a flea only treatment would suffice.Look up ticks n u will find it.Not saying thats a tick
Exactly sorry worded wrong.I don't know what it is.That isn't 2 types of ticks, that is just two things that ticks do... there is a much larger variety of ticks out there.
Thank u .This whole conversation is getting to a certain point.U know what i mean Feebyesowner lol . lolWhat flea/tick treatment was your cat on before? And, how long has it been since you've given him a treatment? What other preventative treatments, to be exact, was he on that were stopped?
The thing is: putting a cat on steroids and discontinuing multiple preventative treatments all at once is NOT going to resolve if it is or is NOT an allergy. And, if it is an allergy to one of the treatments, it certainly wouldn't pin-point which one.
As this point, I would do one of two things:
1.) give your cat the flea/tick treatment you were using on him, assuming you have any left; tell your vet that you did, and ask them to start working with you to actually find out the cause of what may or may not be an allergy.
2.) tell the vet you have fleas/ticks and get them to recommend another brand of flea/tick treatment PRONTO.
A third thing you could do is find another vet who would really like to help get to the bottom of the problem.
I completely agree with this. I've been spending too much money in appointments, and his ONLY concern is to find the minimum dosage of Medrone that reliefs the itchy skin on my cat.A third thing you could do is find another vet who would really like to help get to the bottom of the problem.
No.
[/QUOTE. Im just guessing like every body else
Bayer Advocate for cats over 4kg. One pipette once a month.What flea/tick treatment was your cat on before? And, how long has it been since you've given him a treatment? What other preventative treatments, to be exact, was he on that were stopped?
Not completely, but he is much better.So, he was just on the one treatment? After 2 months of steroids, and no flea treatment, has his itchiness disappeared?
