Well, we just got back from the vet with Osiris. Although we had not seen any fleas on him, the vet says he saw at least one. This was not our usual vet, as he is on vacation. We just needed a vet to check out the little guy and make sure he was healthy, and to run tests to make sure we were ok with introducing him to the other cats, when that time comes. I was not impressed with this vet at all and will not be using him again. Vet took 4 sticks to draw barely enough blood for an FIV/FeLk test,we will have results on Saturday. I also overheard them recommending declaw to another cat owner. :shudder:
Anyway, the vet recommended, since Osiris is such a little guy (1.06 lbs!) that we use flea powder on him. I went to the pet store, and the flea powder says it is not for use on pets under 12 weeks of age. No way I am using that! The salesperson recommended a flea shampoo, I have never heard of this brand and was wondering if anyone else had.
Brand is Natural Chemistry, and the product is called De Flea Shampoo. It claims to be safe enough to use on nursing puppies and kittens.
Active Ingredients:
Dioctyl Sodium Sulfosuccinate 2.1%
Undecylenic Acid 0.5%
Other INgredients 97.4%
I also picked up a flea comb and will be using that on him.
