You know I have had cats with fleas and never saw them either. I can't believe it was just fleas. YAY! I was so nervous about the blood tests. I am going to miss hearing about her. I can't wait until she gets a home

I couldn't believe that fleas could cause scabbed type wounds on her, that she would lick & bite open, and then scab up again....and a rash type area where her fur was getting thinner around her hiney....but the vet said that she has an allergy to fleas (the way some humans are allergic to bees) and it caused her to have this serious allergic reaction, losing some fur, and the cracked/open type wounds.....
Our beloved Sambo was allergic to fleas too, that is why he always wore clothes, it kept him from getting at his skin so bad, I also gave Sambo Benadryl to help with the itching. I used Advantage on him on a regular basis too, and it helped a lot with his fleas, but if one flea got on him it almost drove him nuts.Originally Posted by LuckyGirl

You can see Sambo below in my signature thing wearing his clothes.

I have some good news! (no adoption yet, but still very good!)
Here is the email I recieved from the rescue who took Mommy in:
Hi Heather,
I was just going to e-mail you---great minds think alike!
Mommy cat is doing fine. When we got honme, I set her carrier down, opened the door in a separate room and let her come out when she was comfortable. It gets a little chaotic and noisy around here when a new animal arrives. I wasn't sure how she would react to the dogs???? Within 10-15 minutes, she came out, walked by my dogs and wanted up on my bed which she has now claimed as her own! I had to put a step stool for her because she is "too plump to jump"---LOL.
Her open sores have started to scab so I keep them moist and give her meds to relieve the itching. It'll be at least another two weeks before the scabs fall off and the hair will hopefully start to grow again???
All in all, she's doing well.
Her total bill is $75---alot better than $100-$200!
As far as adoption, we do have two applications on her but will be happy to accept a third. We do have a process of taking essay type apps, checking vet refs and doing in home visits. There is also an adoption contract that must be signed by the adopter and an authorized representative of our agency.
Please tell your potential adopter to e-mail us her/his info and we will be glad to consider them
Have a great day!
Bea
This means that she will do well in a home with cats and dogs!
Also she has 2 adoption applications on her now, and I have just received another that I forwarded onto the rescue!
She wants to cuddle in bed! Doens't that just make you all warm & tingly inside!
I will keep you all posted of her pending adoptions!

Thanks guys! I believe all of your prayers worked for her! I am just thrilled that even for now she gets to sleep in a warm bed....even if it means she needs a step stool to get her tubby hiney up there!
I was really feeling horrible about keeping her in Jazzy's bedroom, she has a loft bed, and there was no place for her to lay on or cuddle up in....so I had made her a bed out of 2 blankets. I know it's way better than what she was used to, but she really deserved to be up on a bed....laying in a ray of sunshine!
OMG that is awesome Heather..you are wonderful
That's great news! :clap You did a wonderful thing for Mommy cat, Heather.
Yes you did Heather, I am sending you some thank you hugs from Mississippi for doing such a wonderful job for Mommy cat.Originally Posted by eilcon
