I've been reading threads here about what brand of meds to use & not use...but the more I read, the more confused I get. Help please!
My cat Teddy is 1 year 3 months old & he weighs 8.3 lbs. I just took him to the vet. I told them I was taking Teddy outside on a harness & leash & I'm only letting him on the front porch, sidewalk, & parking lot at my condo. I always have a tight grip on the leash. We have alot of squirrels! The vet recommonded Revolution because it protects against worms & earmites too. With everything I've read, I'm scared to use it on Teddy now.
Should I use something else besides Revolution? If I do use it, do I have to use it all year round? If I don't, I have to have him tested for worms before I use it again, correct?
I have used the Apple Cider Vinegar mixture twice. Stinky! But Teddy doesn't mind...he's too excited being outside & he doesn't have fleas (I check him with a flea comb). Does the vinegar mixture really work? How many times should I apply it? Does it only work for fleas?
I DO NOT want Teddy to get sick. I lost Monti to lymphotic fluid in lungs in 12/08 at 3.5 yrs old
