Re: [Felvtalk] Fleas Hylands bioplasma tablets
Hi Cindy, I'm not familiar with Hyland's Bioplasma tablets either, but if you decide to try them and they don't work, maybe talk to your vet about Cyclosporine. I have 2 boys with severe allergies (one food/environmental, one just environmental) and tried many things, including food trials and allergy shots. The cyclosporine is the only thing that works for us. Hate to have them on a drug forever, but my vet says the feedback has been pretty positive on it, few problems so far (It's a fairly new drug for cats). Mine have been on it for 3 years and 1 year, they get yearly CBC's, but no issues so far. They are now on 25mg per day, 5 days per week. It costs about $43.00 for 30 pills. It took about 4-5 months to start working on one of the boys, but his quality of life is now so much improved. No more e-collar, yay!!! Best wishes, Beth N.

Re: [Felvtalk] Fleas
Thank you all for your replies regarding treatment for fleas. I was concerned that mainstream flea applications could be harmful due to his FeLV+ status. We were able to get a hold of his vet yesterday and they recommended Frontline, so we picked some up and applied it last night. Hopefully, we'll have the situation under control soon. He's still very much in need of a loving home. He deserves much more than our basement can offer.

Re: [Felvtalk] Fleas
For you house, I recommend diluting Dawn dishwashing liquid soap (supposedly only the Blue Dawn works) and spraying it all over and under your furniture, walls floors - I couldn't get rid of my house fleas until I tried that last home remedy - and I think I've tried them all. The Dawn soap one works! It supposed to work as a desiccant and is one of the few I found that actually works on adult fleas, not the larvae. Put as much as your comfortable with, I put a sqeeze or two in a small spray bottle. For cleaning, I use white vinegar (straight) although you can dilute that too if you want, and that is also supposed to be something fleas hate, or it kils them...sorry I forget exactly on that one... For putting ON the cats, I second the capstar , Frontline...eh. You could also carefully rub FOOD grade diatomaceous earth powder in their fur. Be warned it's like drywall dust and extremely drying but it's an option. Food grade is ok for cats (and humans) to digest. I had one cat who would roll in it ( I dropped a small pile of it on the basement floor) and he was my flea indicator. :) I wouldn't recommend putting it all over your house it's messy, and the small particles are not great for the lungsI'd definitely stick with the soap. I had more success with the Dawn. On another note - if your cat has flea allergies, and licking themselves bald, I've found that giving them Hylands bioplasma tablets fixed that. The one cat I have who does and had licked himself bald comes running for his almost daily or sometimes twice daily pills when I shake the bottle. The others I gave them to, come intermittently now when I shake the bottle, but my little Hobbie was desperate for them. Over the winter, he didn't want them as much but he's started to ask for them again now.

Re: [Felvtalk] Fleas Hylands bioplasma tablets
Thanks Dana - and everyone else too! My vet also had Capstar, so we used it with the Frontline. I'll definitely try the Dawn for cleaning. Thankfully, I have no carpeting, so it should be fairly easy. And he's kept in the basement, with a concrete floor that can withstand most anything. I'll need to do something with his kitty condo, but I'm thinking maybe I can flea bomb it in the shed and then return it to his room after it's aired out. I had forgotten about diatomaceous earth - thanks for the reminder. That would be good for the yard, wouldn't it? We leave the screened basement window open for fresh air and I suspect that's how the fleas entered the house, so I'd like to treat the yard. There's a possibility they came with a dog I was fostering, but she spent 90% of her time upstairs and we haven't had a problem there (knock on wood). I'm interested in the Hylands bioplasma tablets. I'll certainly Google them, but I'd also welcome any input you can offer. I have a high-strung Bengal that was surrendered by an owner who could no longer tolerate his bad behaviors, which included aggression, spraying, and self-mutilating licking/chewing. So far, the aggression and spraying haven't been a problem, but he continues to lick/chew himself raw. He's relatively new to me, but his previous owner sent his vet records with him and it looks as though this has been a problem since before she adopted him (at age 3) and she had him to the vet *many* times over the 3 years that she had him. They've done all sorts of testing and have always come back to anxiety issues. He's been on sedatives and she said that helps, but only for a while. He was doing fairly well here after he buddied up with one of the other rescues, but he still licks/chews at times. I'm wondering if the Hylands bioplasma tablets would help him. Thank you again for your input!

Re: [Felvtalk] Fleas
The Capstar http://www.capstar.novartis.us/ pill is fabulous because it bombs the fleas off in about 2 hours, then you can start using a monthly flea treatment. I use Revolution and never had any problems with my FeLV+ cats using it. As far as cleaning products go, I use Dawn on nearly everything - it's a very effective anti-bacterial and it's comepletely safe for animals. When I bring new kittens or puppies/dogs into the house, I give them a Dawn bath because it kills germs and helps wash off fleas. I have hardwood floors, so I'm limited to certain cleaning products.

I use Revolution and never had any problems with my FeLV+ cats using it. As far as cleaning products go, I use Dawn on nearly everything - it's a very effective anti-bacterial and it's comepletely safe for animals. When I bring new kittens or puppies/dogs into the house, I give them a Dawn bath because it kills germs and helps wash off fleas. I have hardwood floors, so I'm limited to certain cleaning products. My favorite is Pine Sol. On Mon, Jun 20, 2011 at 12:24 PM, Cindy McHugh ci...@furangels.org wrote: I just realized our FeLV cat has fleas.

He's housed in our basement and really needs/deserves a forever home of his own. He's fully vetted (vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped). He's the sweetest cat we've ever fostered. He's a lovely blue/grey with green eyes. Photos gladly provided to anyone interested.

Re: [Felvtalk] Fleas and Ticks
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.

Re: [Felvtalk] Fleas and Ticks
PS. The drugs you mentioned are used when dealing with small cell cancer, what type did they say he has? *Small cell* is slower growing but takes longer to get into remission, *large cell* is much more aggressive and spreads very quickly and will usually go into remission faster but it must be treated aggressively with multiple chemo drugs. -- Belinda happiness is being owned by cats ... http://bemikitties.com http://BelindaSauro.com ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
