Otherwise I have never medicated my cats for fleas ever unless they were outside and came in and once when Quinn had them. I think it was her, but...

    New sick kitten+angry cat

    Things like fleas and ringworm are super contagious, even allowing the kitten to sleep on your other cat's beds could lead to them being infected too. Other diseases have an incubation period, which means that they may have already been passed on to other cats, but you're not seeing any signs...

    Hello everyone

    ...I took him in three weeks later, due to predicted cold winter night temperatures. I put him in a single 'cat-proofed' room. He had some fleas, some cat lice, ear fungus, and a roundworm. He had some diarrhea at first. The vet did not find any microchip, and I have not heard about anyone...

    Deworming a cat in a not so optimal state

    ...potential rabies is where I draw the line. I delayed his TNRing and I do regret that a lot. I know he was weak from the abscess and all the fleas. I am hoping deworming is a good next step given that he is inside for the moment. I just don't want my good intentions to cause more harm than...

    Weird Symptoms.. urgent help?!

    ...of course is hardly any platelets and the low HCT. I have seen numbers like that in cats with microplasma. A blood parasite they get from fleas. I imagine your cat doesn’t and hasn’t had fleas so other than that, I would think cancer could be the culprit. With a blood transfusion, which would...

No fleas since then luckily and also they didn't look like tapeworms 😩 None of our pets have fleas, they are all constantly treated with prevention.

    ...made up by many segments. When they pass them in the stool it can look like long grain white rice. E cause all you see is the segments. if the fleas had never been completely the resolved, it is highly likely that she could eat another one that is carrying the tapeworm egg and re infest...

    Fleas and Tapeworms

    I guess that I am in the middle on this. My cat vet does not automatically deworm if a cat has fleas, but I have had a few occasions where various cats have had tapeworms and then had to be treated for them. This has always happened during flea season, even if the cats are treated. I have had...

    Fleas and Tapeworms

    Interesting. I guess my cat is just out of the norm then. We've been fighting fleas off and on for a few years now and - knock on wood - she has not had any tapeworms.

    Fleas and Tapeworms

    My vet has stated previously that cats are not like dogs. Dogs will bite at fleas and not get them, but cats will get almost all of them, so she always recommends deworming for tapeworms if your kitty has fleas.
