think you should wait on the Frontline--at least for a few days. I'm not
sure why I am saying that but,if he is not really infected with fleas,
waiting a few days should make no difference. He is stressed enough
now.
Good luck. You are
blessed.
Joe- I am so sorry about Sassy-but I think it is a wonderful way to honor her memory to gain/share as much knowledge on the subject with others. Know that you are in my heart and prayers for peace and strength. Take care.

Hi there Ashleigh,
I am not a FELV+ expert as many on this list are, but I can tell you
that I have used a drop or two of Revolution on kittens as young as 4
weeks without problems. Capstar is safe for kittens and works
immediately, but only kills adult fleas, not any larva or eggs that
I don't know the reasons but three different vets I know will not use
Revolution on cats. You may want to check this out with your vet. It may
just be their preference or there may be a solid reason.
If you have men who will
exclude any

FeLV is a virus that can manifest in many different ways, or not at
all. The best way to know if your cat is positive is to have them
tested. Your vet can do a test called an elisha test which is done
right at the vets. If you get a positive result with that it's a good
idea to retest in

I took the kitten to the vet, and the vet says he looks healthy. He did not test for FeLV because he said it would be a waste of as Freddie is too young to have built up a titer. He recommended isolating Freddie from Bella for 5-6 weeks until Freddie can get 3 FeLV vaccines in him, so that's

I'm so sorry to hear about your sweet Sassy. Symptoms
for FeLV are vast because the virus manifests itself

but not limited to, anemia and cancer. Sometimes
there are no symptoms, only a test showing that she is
carrying the virus. Many

into gear. Maybe you can still
Hi Ashley,
I would not use Frontline on a kitten that young, but
others here might have had more experience with a
kitten this young. You might do better just picking
the fleas off his little body with your fingers or
using a very fine tooth comb.
Definitely, I would keep Bella and Freddie away
Hi, Belinda,
If my kitten has FelV (she does, and tested positive), should I still
have her tested, if she's 9 months old already? Does she still have a
chance to fight it off? I really hope so, as she already has a mass in
her chest.
