what kills fleas on dogs instantly

As a dog owner, you may have noticed your furry friend scratching more than usual. This could be a sign of fleas, which are a common problem for dogs

I have this weird thing where I always find kittens whenever a big storm is coming. It’s like they just spawn out of thin air when the pressure drops below 950 mb. When my mom’s current cat was a kitten we pulled her out of a wood pile the day before said wood pile was washed away into oblivion by floodwaters.

This pathetic creature showed up at my neighbor’s house two days ago covered in fleas, loaded with coccidia, and hissing like an absolute opossum.

He’s cleaned up nicely (survived bath) and is already taming down fast. He was a perfect gentleman today. I think he’s going to be a rather exceptional cat actually! Hopefully I’ll be able to foist him on my coworker who made the grave mistake of telling me she was considering a kitten a few weeks ago. I’d love to see him grow up. Scratchy-meow cats have a direct line to the most sentimental part of me.

Capstar is a fast-acting oral treatment for cats. The tablet eliminates 100% fleas within 7 hours of administration. It effectively starts working to kill fleas within 30 minutes of administration. The easy to administer tablets are odorless and provide protection against fleas without causing any irritation to cats.

I wasn't expecting the last day of my vacation to be waking up early to get flea medicine for the cats wheeee

[bonni]

today was crazyyyyy oh my god. I still went to my ASL class this morning, because I was waiting to hear back from the vet, the vet called me during class and told me I could bring the cats in for treatment after my class was over. so without stopping for lunch, I went home and took them straight to the vet.

after the vet, my mom met me at my apartment and we prepped for the exterminator tomorrow. my rich girl hoarder adhd lifestyle really bit me in the ass here, I have so much crap and it's all strewn across my floors, we had to clean up all of it. all my laundry went into bags, even the clean stuff, to be washed and dried on high heat. my bed had to be taken apart so that I could sweep and vacuum under it (the cats basically nest down there lol) and all my sheets had to be changed, we were cleaning for easily 4 hours straight and I never would have gotten it all done on my own so I'm really grateful for my mom's help.

then I had to run out to petco to get capstar, and of course when I got home I had to shower. and finally, after surviving on nothing but a protein shake for breakfast, I can rest and eat dinner 😭 tomorrow is going to be equally hectic, but hopefully less strenuous

hey friends!! holy crap I hate making this kind of post. I recently lost my cat for around two weeks, and I found her Sunday absolutely emaciated, anemic, severe upper respiratory infection, incredibly infected and deep wound on her left armpit, yellow, and infested with fleas. I brought her to work with me (vet) and spent the last of my greenery on medication and treatment for her; we ran her blood work and her liver values were sky high, and as I said, severely anemic. We are doing antibiotics (Convenia), Onsior, fluids, recovery food, Capstar and Senergy for the fleas, iron and mineral supplements. At home I’ve been steaming her in my bathroom and I have a humidifier in the room she is quarantined in. The total was $236 (to be as transparent as possible, lol) and I still need to pick up 2 more medications for her, another supplement & some lysine powder.

Would anyone be able to spare like $20 so I can go stock up on wet food cans for her?? She’s having a hard time chewing the dry kibble, and I need to go get her kitten food specifically to help with her weight anyways. My last little bit of extra money has to go to gas and food for myself

Here’s a picture of the poor old lady

She is doing a LOT better. I just need to stock up on wet food until I get paid next Thursday. Any little bit counts! I’m just going to get whatever cheap stuff I can for now. Any food is better than no food, and she needs all of the food.

Another cat update a mixture of good and bad news but all around weird and confusing!

We had our vet visit and once we got back to an exam room my first request was to see about a microchip. He has one! However, the phone number attached to it is disconnected! I've never dealt with this situation before (never had a cat of my very own to be fair) so the vet techs were extremely helpful in explaining what to do. He's now in a 10 day limbo as we wait to see if anyone comes forward to claim him. If not, we can keep him!

In the meantime we've decided to keep him in our home still rather than send him to the shelter during this time. We figured it would be far more comfortable and we don't know how he would handle being in a shelter to begin with.

Then last night as we were discussing the cat, we were also discussing the various animals hanging around the neighborhood and I remembered something. A month ago I had taken a pic of a stray cat curled up sleeping in our yard. Thankfully I still had it in my phone and it seems to match up to the cat living in our house currently. He's been out on the streets for over a month at least.

But everyone is confused about the whole situation. Why is this 2ish year old cat chipped but not neutered?? How long has he been out on the street? What happened to his former owner? Did they move away and dump him? Did they die and he just got put out? Did they just decide to not want him anymore? Did he escape and they gave him up? How was I able to take control of a flea situation and kill them off so fast??**

(** spoiler! It's very easy when you don't own any other pets, have no carpet in the house, keep him contained to a small part of the house, do laundry and cleaning constantly every day, brush the hell out of him whenever you can, give him a quick bath, and dose him with Capstar to kill the adult fleas.)

Parka and I had another bad night because I took his boot off because he was stepping in his poop and it was sticking to the boot. It took a lot of effort to keep him still to get it off because they wrapped it tight and I had to cut it with my bandage scissors a good bit to get it off. However, despite him screaming and growling at me and me raising my voice at him more than I should have, he has offered me his belly and is accepting pets

I’m just gonna give him space and let him set the pace now that we’re done with his pain meds and his antibiotic was an injectable so other than a capstar I need to pop in him he’s good to rest. We have 2 weeks before he’s due for boosters so barring an emergency he doesn’t need to be manhandled anymore

Unfortunately, Bu Cat is better at detecting Baytril in his food than Capstar

[loosiusgoosius]

So I work in a vet hospital (a poor choice, really) and predictably the day came where someone came in with a kitten they found on the side of the road. And. I'm only human.

So meet Tooby (To Be Determined)

Medical stuff below the cut if you're interested

he's got a nasty viral infection that we're treating first, that's the crust on his eyes and nose. He was covered in fleas but that seems to have been solved with a capstar. His back leg was degloved so he's gonna have some scarring there, but it should heal fine, it's wrapped for now. The only major issue is a hyper extended front leg. If the torn nerves heal, he'll be able to use that leg, albeit with limited movement. If they don't heal, he'll need to have it amputated. You can kind of see it's tucked oddly. My money (literally, ha) is on an amputation, so it's possible you might see a post asking for monetary help with this guy. I'm doing my best and already getting am employee discount but yknow. Failing capitalist society and everything.
