BE CAREFUL WITH FLEA TREATMENTS

Please do not use the multi worm, flea combination drops called STRONGHOLD, if your cat is very old or has problems with their kidneys.  I bought this from the vet to prevent fleas and worms on my cat, Gordon. 2 days after applying the product to the back of my cats neck, he started to show symptoms of poisoning. First he went off his food, then vomiting and disorientation. Before he passed away ,he had a fit.  when I was given the stronghold, the vet weighed him to gage the correct dose, but when it was time for the next dose a month later, my cat had lost a bit of weight, so this had meant the product had acted like an overdose. I was told as STRONGHOLD goes into the cats system, his kidneys would not have been able to process it. I will never buy this treatment again. For the cats I have now, I  use FRONTLINE, and MILBEMAX for worm prevention.

I'm so sorry about your baby Gordon. I have heard many complaints about Stronghold. Scarey. I keep my windows shut all summer so that the cats can sit in the windows without getting fleas which I had happen to some cats of mine years ago. I have just seen to many negative side effects from flea meds. I just keep my air on all summer. Its better for me since I had my stroke a couple years ago anyway(I just turned 50)and have epilepsy due to it now.

So sorry for the lost of your friend!!
I have been using a few drops of NATURAL apple cider in my cats water. Like magic, no varments.
