Captured 8 week old feral kitten on 10-26-30.
Taken to vet 10-30-20.
He was wormed and given a distemper and upper respiratory vaccination. He has an occasional cough or sneeze likely related to the mild upper respiratory infection.
Applied Frontline Gold treatment on 10-30-20 for fleas and related insects.
Scheduled for a 12-2-20 bath here using kitchen sink sprayer to remove flea “dust”, as the vet put it, from his hair (i.e., poop). The vet said not use shampoo such as Dawn as it might interfere with the Frontline Gold.
The vet wants to see him at 12 weeks, around 11-29-20, for a second worming and second distemper and upper respiratory vaccination.
The vet seemed to think it would be O.K. to bring him in the home and place him in a room isolated from other cats in 2-3 days after the Frontline had done its work and after he had a bath and was dried off.
Thats brings up the question of how fast acting is the upper respiratory vaccination? Online sources suggest a 1-2 week isolation of new cats from cats already in the house to prevent possible spread of infectious diseases.
Shouldn’t he be kept isolated in the garage for 2 weeks, with only a temporary trip inside the home for a bath and drying off?
