I took Candy (7 weeks+)to the vets today for her first checkup and
found that she had conjunctivitus (?) which was causing her eyes to
weep a sort of black goo and they gave me oitment to be applied twice a
day. They also gave me an oral medicine for worms as they said she felt
a bit pot bellied which she has to take 5ml twice per day for a couple
of days. I also explained that I found fleas yesterday and gave her an
oral "4fleas" tablet myself so they gave her a "Frontline" spray. When
I got her home I gave her another bath in flea shampoo to get rid of
any remaining flea droppings left over from these 2 flea treatments
she's had. In hindsight maybe I should not have bathed her straight
away, do you think I have washed out the "Frontline"? I am just
desperate to get rid of this horrible flea problem so that I can lift
and handle her again. She was in quarantine all day yesterday whilst
the oral tablet was working and I was flea spraying the whole house.
She's been through so much over the last couple of days since I got
her, what with the rehoming, bathing and vets today. I hope I have not
frightened her too much. Still no luck on the second kitten fron but
I'm still looking!!
