@PoorSasha:     Yes,  Revolution requires a vet prescription.  It is also more expensive because it is not just for fleas but ticks,  ear mites,  heartworm.   If your cat(s) have only fleas,  not the risks of the other 3,  you really would be over-treating the problem,  wouldn't you. Don't be...

Having 13 (all indoor) cats it gets very expensive when I get the rare flea infestation.  I say rare as it has only happened twice in the past 10 years;  once when a neighbor child brought them in from playing/rolling around with a large dog,  the 2nd time the pet sitter I hired when I was...

* B U M P * HI,  all,  am bumping this thead back up to share some good news -  Tweety just had her T-4 levels checked at the vet's this past week and it is now back down to 2.4 !  Thank God for that.  She has gained back only two-tenths of a pound of her body weight;  however,  the vet...

willowy,  I am familiar with having to adjust her thyroid dose with regular blood checks -  over the past 3 years of doing this (and using the pills from the vet) the variation has been very slight.  Her last change was a reading that went from 2.4 to 4.0  Nothing like the huge jump to over 9.0...

Just found out from my vet yesterday why my poor Tweety Cat is in such poor shape.  Checked her T4 thyroid (she has been on methimazole now for 3 years) blood level and it was thru the roof.  A reading of over 9 when it should be in the 2.4-4.0 range.    Plus,  she has lost 2 pounds,  her weight...
