Steve,
sorry to ask this--it may be a dumb Q--but do you know for sure that fleas are
the source of Loki's scratching?
After
Levi began scratching frequently I put a humidifier in the room on the
advice of group members.
When
the vet came, she examined him and said she was "not concerned" about the
scratching. The humidifier did seem to reduce the incidence of scratching among
the cats in general.
I hope
hairballs were also the source of the throwing up. Kerry

Subject: Loki Advice: fleas, throwing up
Recently, Loki has
gotten fleas. He scratches a lot, but it doesn't seem overwhelming. I
don't see any in the house, but will start a good cleaning/vacuuming
regiment. I bought a flee comb, but will of course do more. Does anyone
have advice on best course of action for a 9 month old FeLV+ kitty? I will
also go to the vet for any prescribed treatment, but don't want to cause him a
speck of stress with treatment. My vet is very good in this regard
since he is opposed to poisonous stuff.
For the past three
days Loki has been throwing up in the early evenings. He is eating
normally otherwise and this doesn't seem to faze him too much. Our feeding
regiment for him has not changed. His supplements are L-Lysine and Vitamin
C, which he has been give for many months. His throwing up seems to occur
sometime after he has his wet food with supplements in the early afternoon
(4pm-ish). Any advice or comments?
Even though he is
fine otherwise, this is causing me very much
anxiety.
Thanks for any
advice.
Steve
