hello everybody!!! thank you all for such great advice on my wild little kittens. Kramer (the oldest, boy... about 5 months old) is crazy! Penny (girl, probably 2 1/2 months) is coming around wonderfully!!! she is coming out regularly and only runs back to her safe place whenever she is frightened by a sudden movement or loud noise. it's great! They are both eating and drinking very well and are using the litter box nicely!
one problem i have encountered is that the furballs have FLEAS!!!
FLEAS!!! ahhh!!! lol. this is not good. i feel so bad for penny especially because she's SO SMALL and she's always itching herself! she must be so STRESSED!!! i looked at her belly and they are just SWARMING!!! i cant make a vet appt. until monday but i plan on doing that asap to get kramer neutered... i'm doing him first b/c he's bigger and older. so i suppose i will have to make an appt. for her fleas...
any suggestions in the meantime?
I DID MAKE WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE A BIG MISTAKE!!! i put HARTZ 2 in 1 flea and tick spray on them! after researching this product on the net i learned that many of the hartz brand products are deadly and i read stories from people who said their pet's died from using this same spray!!! i put some on kramer's belly and back last night because i could see fleas on him after i gave him a bath (i hadn't seen any in the bath water!) and today when i saw how many were on penny i gave in and rubbed some on her belly... i noticed that she isn't itching as much but they BOTH HAVE COLDS OR SOMETHING...
their eyes are watery and they both have one of their eye's closed... not all the time, but it's like they're winking at me... lol! they sneeze often too! so now i'm scared they may be having reactions!!!
