We Moved Into This Apartment In February Of This Year, Beautiful Home Out The Country…
We moved into this apartment in February of this year, beautiful home out the country across from a farm. Anyway, the previous people had outside animals including dogs and cats. My boyfriend are thinking that they never did anything for the flea issue and we are taking on their issue. We have done at home remedies and chemicals, nothing is working! Our upstairs where the cats litter box was, is infested with these parasites. Can somebody give us some feedback?

Christina Chambreau Working with a holistic veterinarian or trying some holistic approaches at home can reverse the behavioral change that I feel was caused by the surgery or the anesthesia. Some animals are sensitive and do have serious reactions that I could not treat when I merely had my conventional treatment.
I strongly recommend finding an integrative
veterinarian with whom to work. This is a person trained in many different
approaches, including using conventional drugs only when absolutely needed.
Working with one can increase the chance that your cherished companion can live
a long and healthy life after recovering from this current problem. There are
good ones and great ones, and a few homeopathic veterinarians will consult by
phone or email. You can go to the web sites for each type of holistic practice
and use their referral list to find one near to you. Many practitioners are
members of only one or two of the organizations, so you do need to go to every
site to find who is near you:
1. Wide range of treatments: http://www.AHVMA.org, American Holistic Veterinary
Medical Association and http://www.civtedu.org.
2. Homeopathic veterinarians (these can often help you by phone if no other
holistic practitioners are nearby that you like): http://www.theAVH.org and
http://www.DrPitcairn.com;
3. Chiropractic and Osteopathic – http://www.animalchiropractic.org; http://equineosteopathy.org/ (they treat
dogs, too)
4. TCVM (Acupuncture and Chinese medicine): http://www.IVAS.org, http://www.aava.org &
http://www.TCVM.com
5. Herbal – http://www.VBMA.org
At home you could take a class to be attuned in Reiki and offer it to everyone in the house on a daily basis. This may reverse the problem (see below). flower essences are totally safe and could help him become normal again. Maybe try a session with Sharon who makes the Anaflora line and is also an animal intuitive.
Personally, I think every person who lives with or works
with animals must know at least Level I Reiki. The practitioner offers this
energy and the animal comes over to get it (or places her hands upon the
animal), or it can be done from a distance, even around the world with the
intent for healing to occur. The energy flows through the healer into the
animal. This is based on directly applying Chi (energy) to rebalance the energy
field so it no longer needs to produce the physical symptoms. It is a very good
adjunct to any healing modality, especially to relieve pain and inflammation. I
have seen cats who began to eat again when their food was treated with Reiki.
It also “takes the bad out of” things. By doing Reiki on smelly water
in restaurants I have been able to drink sweet tasting and smelling water. Use
Reiki anytime that you must give injections, vaccines, drugs, flea or heartworm
drugs, or other substances with potential toxicity. Reiki is great to calm
animals, relieve discomfort, and can deeply heal some problems in some animals.
1. Great information on Reiki – http://www.reikicourse.org.
2. Kathleen Prasad is a wonderful teacher and works with my favorite sanctuary
and holistic education center, BrightHaven http://www.brighthaven.org. Kathleen leads
a free monthly telechat for anyone trained in Reiki and using it with animals.http://www.animalreikisource.com/.3. If you cannot find a Reiki Class near you (same class for people and animals
as it connects you through an “attunement” to the healing energy of
the universe, making you a channel of healing), the following groups offer long
distance, free, attunements.a. http://theholisticcare.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=13,
b. http://freereikiattunement.com/
c. Christine at cbearse@earthlink.net, http://www.awakeningrainbows.com. To receive
free distance Reiki send her your first name only, city and state, and whether
or not you have had any Reiki training. She invites you to include your
pets as well. She uses a teddy bear and does a full body Reiki distance
treatment for one hour each Sunday evening from 9 p.m. until 10 p.m. EST.
d. And a team of over 100 healers will send free healing energy until you say
not to. Email Barbara at nancelot01@aol.com with your healing request, name of
animal, species, color & age. In the subject say request through Dr.

My name is Ankush Singla from India. I have my friend from turkey. She has a dog of breed mixture of wolf and Burmese …so we can say he is Burmese wolf . From last 7 days he is not eating. He is around 11 years old. She took him to doctor, he prescribed some medicines and giving some liquids to him through glucose bottles. But after three days of treatment, still hr is not eating…lay whole day and sad too. Before that he was never like that. What should she do ?,please help us because we can not see him in pain.

PK Dennis Often when a dog decides to stop eating it means that they are going to die. Eleven is an old dog when it is mixed with wolf. Since the dog has been seen by a doctor I would suspect there is not much to be done for this dog save to make him comfortable (manage his pain).
So sorry to hear of his troubles.

My 8 month female cat has been pooping almost anywhere when she has been in heat. I have not experienced her doing so when she is out of heat. Why would she be doing that?

Casey Hoover She is getting fixed this Friday. I’m just getting upset because it’s not confined to one area. It’s like she can’t control it. It’s frustrating that it’s all over and upsetting because I don’t want anything to be wrong health wise. It just seems to be mainly when she is in heat. I would have put that she was getting fixed within my question but there was not enough room to fit it all.

He’s an indoor cat, escaped few days ago and I believed he fell in the drain behind my house because he came back full of dirt. I think he might have hurt his leg jumping out of the drain. He’s not limping, didnt show any sign of hurt at first but when I tried to lift him up he got angry, when I checked his front leg, it didnt feel broken and he got really grumpy when I touch it. He’s still eating/drinking but less than usual. He’s also pretty moody and lethargic, less playful.

My Cats Were Purebred (in My Home), They’re A Persian+Turkish Angora Mix And Are Already…
My cats were purebred (in my home), they’re a Persian+Turkish Angora mix and are already 3 years old, I haven’t given them any medications (except when they’re sick). I’ve never checked them for any hookworms, ringworms, heartworms or any other parasites/worms so are there any risks?

Anonymous Because I am a stickler for accuracy in language: If they’re a mix, then they aren’t purebred. The word “purebred” means an animal bred from parents of the same breed or variety. Because you have two different breeds involved, they are a mix.
That said…do they go outside? Have you taken a fecal sample to the vet annually? I give heartworm preventative 4x a year – my old man cat doesn’t go outside, and I get annual fecal and blood testing done for him. Get fecals and blood panels done, at the very least, to make sure everything’s good. Without a full picture of your cats’ health, you cannot make an educated decision on how to handle medications and the like.
-
Zaid Kilani I’m really sorry for the mistake, so they’re not purebred (my cousin told me that that’s how purebred cats are and I believed him), anyways, I’m not an expert in cats nor am I accurate in language. My cats go indoors and outdoors whenever they want and I’ve never taken them to any fecal or blood tests but I do have a vet coming to my house every month for a checkup on my cats’ overall health.
-
Anonymous If they go outside, then yes, they should be on heartworm preventative. I would also have them on an external parasite preventative/flea and tick preventative, as well.

Andrea Cox Have they ever seen a vet? Vaccines? If not and they are outside then you have more to worry about then worms. You need to get them checked out properly by a vet and you need to consider them to be indoor cats. Outdoors cats have a short life so and of around 5 years or less. I door cats can live up to 20. You say they have been sick before, most likely because they caught something outside. I would take to a vet and let them administer the medicines and preventatives. It’s not that much money to have this done.

Zaid Kilani Thank you for the answers
So Ten Weeks Ago My Cat Escaped While She Was In Heat. And Now She…
So ten weeks ago my cat escaped while she was in heat. And now she gained weight and her nipples are swollen. She’s been eating alot lately.She’s a young cat and i read that a pregnant cat vomits during the beginning of her pregnancy but my cat hasn’t. Now I don’t know if she’s just bloated or pregnant. Can you help me please ?

Dawn Ferara, DVM The best way to tell if your cat is pregnant is to take her to a vet for an exam. However, if you are correct about the ten weeks then she should have had the kittens by now. I recommend taking her to a vet for an exam and to get her spayed.
Good Luck

Madelyn Fischer Hello, how old is your cat? If it is young, it could still be getting the hang of things. If it is old, then it could be too old to go into the litter box. If it is mid-aged, it could be marking it’s territory. Good luck!
My Cats Always Choke On Hairballs In Their Throats (without Vomiting) So I Would…
My cats always choke on hairballs in their throats (without vomiting) so I would prefer (if available online/in your local store) a dry cat food brand that eliminates/controls the hairballs in my cats’ throats in addition to the food being completely FREE of BY-PRODUCTS because 2 of my 3 cats have suffered from Meow-Mix (which contains by-products).

Anonymous Unfortunately, we don’t really know what’s available in Turkey. Can you give us a list of what you can get there?
-
Zaid Kilani Sorry if I startled you but I’m only visiting Turkey for this month (I actually live in Jordan) but I’m willing to order/ship cat food online because the available foods in Jordan are Meow Mix, Le Chat and Royal Canin. I’ve tried all these (both the wet and dry food versions) and my cats never seemed to like them.
My Cat Got His Hip Popped Back Into Place After Dislocating It And Is In…
My cat got his hip popped back into place after dislocating it and is in a lot of pain, causing him to avoid eating and drinking. I have gotten him to eat a bit, but still can’t get him to drink anything. We have had them for 9 years now and have only ever given them water to drink. Would it be dangerous if I tried giving him a little bit of milk even though he has never had it and is going about 24 hours now without any liquids?

Brittany Foltice we are also planning on taking him to the vet soon (its 2:50am right now) but I am simply finding anything to do to get him to drink a bit before then.
OK this is is what I have done many many times over the years helping friends and family and it works 100% of the time. It takes some time, effort, a little money, and mostly, elbow grease. First thing you need is to purchase some flea killing pills called Capstar. Ebay, or a vets office or online, the animal swallows the pill and 30 min later all fleas are on the ground dead. Order them today. Then go out and get a good flea med. Some vets won’t give you any if you haven’t been seen by them, so I suggest Frontline from the pet store, use by body weight. Don’t apply it just yet. Purchase at least 3 new vaccum filters as the vacuum is your best friend in this scenario. This requires at minimum a weekend for the initial treatment and then continuing to vacuum daily so suck up any new eggs that hatch. Repeatedly.
Capstar pills, flea meds for each pet, flea bombs for each room of the house except kitchen, vacuum filters, and most importantly cat carriers or cages or somewhere to place them while this is happening besides the house.
Now sat morning wake up and get animals out. While they are out give each one a dose of the Capstar pills, a bath, and then apply the flea med. Next move all furniture and anything a flea can be under to one side of the rooms and cover with bed sheets. Next. Vacuum like a crazy person. Twice! Change the filter and take trash bag with old filter immediately to the outside dump. Vacuum again. Under beds. Under under under.. under couch cushions and anywhere a flea will hide. Closets, etc . Take litter boxes to bathroom and bleach clean. Pick everything up off floors. Next let the bombs off in center of each room with doors closed and leave the house for alloted time frame. After that come inside and vacuum good again to suck up all dead fleas. Now clean off bomb residue off cabinets and stuff and anywhere like tile floors and wipe it all up. Open windows air out a while. Let’s pets back in. Wash sheets covering the furniture.. And put things back. Beside off of floors because you need to vacuum daily for the next 2 weeks. This will work. It takes effort but will work. At the 3-4 week mark. I would repeat and bomb again. At the 4 week mark apply more flea med to animals.
At some point try to get a better flea med from a vet but for now the frontline will work. Good luck!
Thank you for your advice! We are getting flea collars for our cats to see if that works. Unfortunately, the landlords will not do anything about it, sadly. We also do not have the money to get a professional out here to take care of these parasites, so we are working with what we got. We have used raid spray for bed bugs/flea/dust mites that has worked a bit, but we need to spray again. These fleas are never ending…
Thank you for your advice, much appreciated! Capstar may work great but, I am not sure how I feel about giving my animals something that they ingest, just seems off putting to me! We vacuum every other day, we have a bagless and wet vac that we use to vacuum our home with. We have no carpet in our home, just hardwood floors so it is a little easier to keep up with. We have tried raid flea spray that you spray around your home, we think it worked a little bit, but where their cat box used to be — we are having no luck there is still load of fleas there. This weekend we are getting the cats flea collars, as much as I don’t want too I think it will work.
Thank you again for your advice!
Flea collars won’t do anything and just annoy the animal that isn’t used to them. If you have hard wood floors getting rid of the fleas should be easier. You haven’t tried to bug bomb the room with the litter boxes yet so that is the best bet. That room needs to be bombed and vacuumed over and over again. Not a spray but an actual bug bomb that you leave in the room for a day. Make sure to clean up after using raid and bug bombs.
Ohhh damn, maybe I wont get the collars then. I have tried frontline, it was a waste of money and did not work for us. We vacuum every other day, I will have to try the moth ball thing!
Dang, you are the second person to say that the collars do not work… so I will not be trying them. We have sprayed and we always vacuum and mop the floors after I do not want my fur babies tracking through poison. The fleas are not terrible in our living room, kitchen, and bathroom. However, once you step foot into the upstairs where their box used to be, it’s loaded with fleas. We live in an old farm-house so there is cracks in the floor, and I am 99.9% sure they have been laying eggs in the cracks and reproducing. Such a pain… I’d rather deal with house flies than fleas!
