I think that the problem is that when cats are in poor health, underweight, pregnant, after surgery....they should NOT be vaccinated or treated with poisons like flea stuff, ever. My vet really has a strong dislike of Revolution; he's never had any incidents with other products, other than Zodiak. But then, again, he doesn'y use them indiscriminately, only when it's The reason we use the stuff around the house is because fleas can easily get into the garage, and our dog goes out and could bring them inside even though she is treated with frontline. However, one can also bring a flea inside on one's clothes - VOILA, the beginning of many little ones in the making.....

A vet once told me, "If a squirrel runs through your yard, you can have a flea infestation in the house." True, dat. My college roommate and I had three indoor cats, and one summer they all became so infested we had to bomb the house... Twice. (Interesting side-note: a flea can't live/reproduce off human blood) I have 12 cats and use Revolution on them. I don't put it on all of them at once- I stagger it and put it on two this week, two next week, etc. That seems to keep the fleas at bay. I'd also like to address Natalie's vet- I used to work for a vet (and at an animal shelter) and have seen numerous cats go into seizures and die from Frontline and Advantage, but never Revolution. Doesn't mean that it doesn't happen, I've just never seen or heard of it (and I know a lot of Crazy Cat People! haha). -----Original Message----- From: Natalie [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, May 31, 2011 4:10 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Pet Armor I'm not quite sure what Advantage does - you could look up each product and see their specifications. I just sent some suggestions to group; some we have used and are using, and some that I am considering, although what we have right now really works well on all the cats and the doggie. Although our cats don't go outside, they use the outdoor enclosures, thereby possible being exposed to fleas. _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list [email protected] http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list [email protected] http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
