Hello All, I'm new to this post and I have a question. My 13 year old kitty Ramses has recently been diagnosed with Chronic lymphatic leukemia. The vet has recommended the following drugs: Prednisolone and/or Chlorambucil. What is known about the effectiveness and side effects of using these two drugs to treat the above mentioned leukemia? We are struggling with treating him at all at this time because aside from some hair and weight loss, he is not showing any symptoms. I'm afraid that these could happen at any time but presently he seems to be fine. Thanks for any feedback you can provide. Linda Morgan

Drontal kills all worms, but is very expensive, and I do not think there is a generic. . Consistent use of Revolution should keep hooks and rounds at bay (as well as fleas, so technically you shouldn't get tapes either, but it happens) Strongid kills hooks and rounds (.1 cc per pound of cat) - * http://tinyurl.com/c68d2z *Lasts forever....
