I have a new friend and everything is going well so far. He is a 1.5 year old grey/white tabby that came from the humane society (HS).
My question is in regards to vac/testing I need to have done.
He is neutered.
Upon arrival to the HS on 7/8 he was found to have a roundworm. The HS gave "Pyrantel" on 7/12 and 7/26 . His fecal was tested again 7/15. 7/18 and 8/1 and the results were negative.
1. Can I assume he is OK there and do I need to keep testing the fecal or do anything further in regards to this?
The HS vet also gave his RCPC Booster and Rabies vac. He was also tested for FeLV/FIV and that was negative. Upon adoption he was deemed healthy and ready to go home!
2. Is that everything that is given at a first time vet visit? Can I now just wait to take him to my vet next year as standard?
and finally, he was also given "sentry feline" by the HS for flea and the HS denotes that is good for a month. I am not sure if he had fleas or if it was given as prevention. He will be an indoor cat and there are no other pets in the home.
3. Do I need to continue with flea medication?
I sure would appreciate any guidance. Thank you.
