Help! I posted on here last week when I was trying to rescue a young stray who had moved onto my property, who then disappeared after yet another bigger stray scared him off. We ended up first trapping the bigger boy and getting him neutered/vaxxed, and the next night, trapped the little one, and did the same. The problem is when we picked up the big boy, who's now named Desmond, from the vet, they told us they didn't apply Revolution Plus to him because they had already given him a topical dewormer and also that the anesthesia wore off very quickly on him and he went wild. So, they sent us home with a small vial of Revolution Plus and no advice about how we are supposed to get it on him.
I'm so upset! He really needs this treatment. 3 engorged ticks have fallen off him already this past week in the room he's staying in, plus he could have fleas, mites, etc. He hides out in a corner behind a bed in the room; he's not coming out with us in the room yet. My husband is now able to get him to lick Churu off his hand (he leans over the bed and puts his hand down to Desmond to do this). So, we tried to have my husband feed him Churu while I leaned over the bed beside him to try to get the Revolution on him, but it totally freaked Desmond out and he had a hissy fit.
We absolutely need to get this on him before we even consider introducing him to our other resident cats. We don't want to endanger them.
Is there any other technique anyone knows of? I'm really upset the vet stuck us with this, after we paid the amount we did for his visit. :-/
Any advice appreciated.
