Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / June 2007my CAT
Hello, I have 4 cats and I have 4 vials of medicine that I will give my cats next month. I need to bathe my cats well in soapy water about half way between the two applications, isn't this true? Thanks, David M > Hello, I have 4 cats and I have 4 vials of medicine that I will give my > cats next month. I need to bathe my cats well in soapy water about half > way between the two applications, isn't this true? -------- Why do you say that, David? The medication is absorbed through the skin. I had a flea situation last year. The vet gave me tubes of Revolution to be used once a month for three months. Nothing was ever mentioned about giving the cats a bath. As you know, cats bathe themselves. Best regards, ---Cindy S. >> Hello, I have 4 cats and I have 4 vials of medicine that I will give my >> cats next month.

As a matter of fact, I noticed a sign in my vet's office the last time I was there. It said not to use shampoo that contained soap or detergent if we use Advantage, Revolution, etc. because some would be washed off and effectiveness would be diminished.

Maybe you should mention what kind of medicine you're talking about. Flea medicine? Insulin shots? > Hello, I have 4 cats and I have 4 vials of medicine that I will give my > cats next month.

You got to be more detailed when you are describing a problem. WE are not there to know what you are talking about and only have what your are typing to go one There is a phrase that I always remember "words have no meaning without a voice to show you the way" >> Hello, I have 4 cats and I have 4 vials of medicine that I will give my >> cats next month.

I was told that the cat needed oily skin for the the Frontline application and if I bathed him too soon it would not be as effectual. I was also told if you bathed him too soon after the aqpplication it wouldn't work the rast of the month. I have bathed only one cat in my whole life and I have four of them. The 11-week old cat was flea ridden and so i bathed him in soapy water and he didn't seem to mind at all. But there were scores of dead fleas on his coat when we pulled him out of the water. The next day my frontline arrived and I applied it to clean skin, which I was later told by my vet would diminish it's effectivenes. The cat needs certain oils to be present when I apply frontline for it to work more effectually. Thanks eveyone for their input, David Lee s >>>>> Hello, I have 4 cats and I have 4 vials of medicine that I will give >>>>> my cats next month.

Let the medicine do the work of killing the fleas. Maybe just comb out the dead fleas rather than trying to wash them out. Best regards, ---Cindy S. I'm afraid the idea of bathing a cat seems somewhat radical unless there is a good medical need, or it is too old to wash itself - even then only a damp cloth rub and comb is sufficient. Cats clean themselves perfectly well. Combing though is fine. For most cats - if you must be bathing them - be sure to have suitable medical equipment and trained aid standing by. Wearing a leather apron, face mask and welding gloves may help in reducing your need for these services, but probably not eliminate the need. Tongs will also help <G> Clive =========================== > >>>> Hello, I have 4 cats and I have 4 vials of medicine that I will give my > >>>> cats next month.
