When you looked at his mouth, how did his gums look? Are they red, or
inflamed? What color are they? It could be a reaction to the flea
medication... Did you use a whole tube on him? Is he getting along
with the others yet? Could he be depressed or anxious about something?
We're all paranoid on this list, for good reason. Can you engage him in
play? Has he been scratching at the spot you put the Advantage on? Has
he been vomiting at all? Does he drink water? Did you check to see if
he's dehydrated? You know how to check for that right? Tug some of his
skin up at the nap of his neck and see if it bounces back. You can also
check his gums and see if they're pale, if you touch his gums they
should look lighter and then the color will come right back if
everything's okay. Sorry I'm rattling off so many questions, you've got
me worried too!

Hi all,
As you know Thor is one of the new kitties, he has not eaten since
yesterday, he is negative (or he was, when I got him) I know I might
be paranoid, but Snowball went through the same symptoms. Sleeping
alot, not eating ANYTHING not even people food and he has a little
dark aorund his mouth, I have put a kleenex in there to see if it is
clear and can not find any blood.
On Thursday I treated all 9 cats and my dog for fleas, I saw a few I
used Advantage on the cats and Frontline on my dog, I only had I bad
reaction and that was Sprinkels and she is fine now. I am just so
worried about Thor I do not want to see hims got rhough what Snowball
went through....any suggestions,
By the bye no Fever and Friday he was poopin fine.
Thanks
Cherie
