Sorry if I came on strong, but I feel strongly about getting meds from a vet and am very happy that you have gone that route.Originally Posted by Zoggy

I brought the cat to the vet.
The vet gave the cat Frontline.
2-3 weeks passed and I called the vet's office, the front desk woman picked up the phone and told me to apply to Frontline.
I applied the Frontline. I dont need medications for the CATS, I need something to get the fleas out of the HOUSE. There is no point in spending 200$ again to see the vet. I know they have fleas, and I'm treating them. I have a flea comb and Frontline.
I dont know about worms though.
Since the first vet visit he gave them boosters and a dewormer. This was 3 weeks ago, can the kittens get worms AGAIN?
No, it is NOT safe to use the Hartz spray, and Zodiac is not safe either. If you think a regular vet visit is expensive, just wait until you have to take them to the emergency vet because they are twitching uncontrollably! I've seen this more than once.Originally Posted by Zoggy
Im not lettting them outside.
So you are most likely right.
My dad bought some Hartz stuff for 8 dollars at Shoprite...
Now, most likely it wont even work, but i'm not on that case right now.
I'm worried of the after-effects. Its not to apply on the cats. Its to spray in the house and carpets. I told him to get the fogger for it was 14 bucks, but no.
Edit: The spray is called Hartz Advanced Care 3 in 1 Home Spray. Its basically to spray around the house. Theoretically the major problems with the drops and collars are that they are considered insecticide drugs.
However, the fact is that it is what I need to get rid of the fleas, right?
The ingredients say:
(S) - Methoprene ............ 0.01%
Permethrin .................... 0.28%
Other Ingredients ........ 99.71%
Those are the same ingredients found on the OTC fogger you guys gave me called the Zodiac Fogger. The active ingredients on it are also (S)-methoprene and permethrin. So I'm wondering if its safe to spray in the house?
The bottle I have is
Edit: I called the vet. The desk woman picked up. I told her about the fleas and she told me that fleas don't carry worms and the cats can't get them from the fleas, only from the mother... (???)
She told me to get a Frontline spray from them.
Now i'm confused. Fleas don't carry worms??
