ok il try to be short. my 1 year old cat kilo who up until now has been normal, a little on the hyper side and loves to stalk and plays more then anything just like always..ok now a week ago for reasons that or obsolete right now we were running low on money and could not get kilos revolution .and trust me if i had known now what could happen i would never had done this, i bought a flea color,, k he had had a bath the week before and i notice a few fleas and some flea dirt, ok anyways we put the collar on him of course he didnt like it he hates his regular collar lol, i went to work that day and the next when i got home on the second day he seemed agitated he got some lovins and seemed calmer that was around 2 in the afternoon my daughter informed me she caught him licking the collar so we removed it, around 7 or 8 that night he comins running into my room and literally climbs me his tail dripping blood! i though oh my god some thing got dropped on his tail unfortunately that would have been better, i caught him attacking his tail a few minutes later,called the vet it was sat. night they said keep him calm and keep it clean till monday well it ended up being tues. when they saw him i informed them about the flea collar and also told them he had never doen anything like this before, she thought maybe nerve damage kept him overnight and gave him pain meds and anti anxiety. they thought about takin his whole tail but they did some touch tests and found he had complete feeling in the whole tail later they gave him another pain shot another anti anxiety shot and sent him home and said to keep an eye on him which i have totally done, 3 days later,actually just this past sat. night he came high tailing into my room again and was dripping blood even worse so wrapped his tail and held him down called the vet again they said wait til mon. so now 3 hours to go no sleep for me and some sleep for kilo as long as hes held and stroked....ok thats up until this minute now ive been online for the past 5 hours trying to figure out whats the hell happened to my cat i know it has got to be that flea collar the vet said they werent sure the first time..ive talked to aproximately 20 people and have heard how bad flea collars can be and even some they say it sounds like hyperesthesia... he is hyperactive but has never shown any type of aggression towards people or animals let alone hisself.... some say it was the collar and that he will leave it alone after awhile well the tip has to be removed about 1 in is bone ive kept it wrapped and it hasnt bled all day sun but he also has been penned up and held most of the day he is constantly wanting human interaction which he was always a touch me cat but this is more like a help me thing...omg im rambling again!!.ok does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing? some have said since the tip has to be removed we should do the whole tail and thats what the vet said too. and others say try meds but even after the diazapam or however u spell it shot he was still very agitated and tail twitchin alot and would stare evily at the tail if it caught his attention, which lead some to say he may never leave it alone idk what to do and would like some serious input....until revolution came out we used flea powder and just this once i f*cked up and tried a collar im so so sorrry! please help i know u guys arent vets but maybe someone has seen or delt with this before and can give me pros and cons i do know that if amputation is the only way i will do it and only once i read about people doing up 3 times trying to get it to stop but i wont do that to kilo thats horrible one surgery would be bad but 2 and 3 no i wont do it please help if u can!!
