Hi all,
I recently brought in three 6 week old kittens to foster. They were feral and living outside so they had to be socialized. I brought them to a vet, after a couple days of having them. They had had loose stool and there was one feces that was covered in blood and mucus which I was concerned about.
At the vet they tested negative for there combo test. They were very bony and after telling the vet about their poop problems she tested them for worms. The test came back and it appeared that they had roundworms. My vet had given them Revolution and said that they would need it again in a month.
I'm just confused on how long Revolution takes to work and what exactly does it do? Does it kill all of the roundworms? If so how long does it take and if its been about 4 days since they got Revolution, can they still pass the roundworms on to other cats? Can they get roundworms again if there were any eggs left from where they have been staying? Also, can I let them out around my cats or is it too risky?
Thank you and any answers would be greatly appreciated!
