Zithromax is considered safe for pregnant and nursing moms. I googled it once upon a time and found the information (breeder related but it may be on the manufacturer's packaging.) ust google it and you'll find it. Your vet is definitely wrong on this one. I have also used Advantage on tiny kittens. I just do a dab on my fingertip and touch to the back of the kitten's neck. I've never had an adverse reaction but you can always wash them off if you get nervous. I reserve Revolution of those over 4 months
