I want to see update photos! I've been following your story, too.

Your cat can also get tapeworms from eating a mouse that has tapes. Any chance of that?

I make sure my cats are vaccinated for the right diseases. Around here, leukemia, the respiratory disease complexes, rabies and FIV are all endemic and my cats are vaccinated against them. It is VERY important to me that my cats are protected. How often? Not every year. I gave them their first...

We feed our cats chicken, beef or turkey every day and have not had any issues at all. One of my cats is a puker, too, and he's been fine on this.

Stronghold is the same thing. It just has a different name in Europe and the UK.

Don't panic. Fleas, as others have said, live largely in the environment as eggs or pupae. (cocoons). A very small percentage of fleas in an infestation actually live on the cat. The good news is that the fleas that are on your cat do NOT jump off. This is a common misconception that even some...

No, I was addressing the original poster. Sorry for the confusion. No, people don't get flea infestations, so frontline is for pets only!

I am probably a little late to the party, but far be it from me not to throw in my two cents about flea problems. Am I to understand that you are only treating your young cats because they are the ones with the problem, and the older cat is not being treated? If this is true, that's your...

Definitely, she needs to see a doctor.

Actually, it is labeled for both dogs and cats 8 weeks of age and older. Here's a PDF with the label information for Frontline spray. http://www.petdrugsandsupplies.com/d...LINE_spray.pdf

Frontline should work for ear mites if used in the proper dosage. (the dose on the label). You should call your vet and speak to him/her about it though.

This is what is written on the label for Frontline spray: Source: Compendium of Veterinary Products

This is not true. Frontline spray must not be used on kittens younger than 8 weeks of age. The label states that. Do not apply this to kittens younger than 8 weeks of age.

That's great Chrissy, I am glad he's feeling better today.

Droncit tabs should not be crushed up and mixed with food. Praziquantel has an extremely bitter and objectionable taste. This will make cats foam like crazy if they even touch it. It does not come in a liquid form to my knowledge. Droncit does come in an injectable form, your vet would have to...

I don't think it's either good or bad, but if he's still holding his eye partially closed today or showing any signs of any discomfort, he does need to see a doctor. Keep us posted.

No, the fleas should be gone pretty much right away. I'd call the vet and report that.

Cold and flu are viral infections, and they are not viruses that can infect cats. A virus needs a special receptor on a cell to bind to in order to infect a cell. These receptors are different in humans vs cats. There are some diseases that both humans and cats can get, (most of these, as...

You didn't scratch his lens, that's in the interior of the eye behind the pupil, but you may have scratched his cornea. Fortunately, though, the cornea is the fastest healing tissue in the body. I have had a scratched cornea before, and it heals in a day. What your vet needs to do is to assure...

It does not sound like fleas, as their eggs are not sticky and you will see more flea feces than you will eggs. (that looks like black sand). Your cat may have lice. I would strongly recommend a visit to your veterinarian to have this assessed.
