Hello, Can you please tell us if the antibiotic "Veraflox" is toxic to a cat with mild kidney disiase? Our 16 year old cat "Tigger" was on it for 5 weeks for e coli. The e coli was cured. A week later she had some diarrhea and received it again f
It isn't toxic per se, but it should be used with caution in pets with kidney disease. Kidney disease is an insidious condition because a pet can show no clinical signs until one day they are suddenly "sick". This is because most pets can be asymptomatic until they lose about 75% of kidney function. Once diagnosed, we are already "behind the 8 ball" in treatment. It is likely a combination of all her conditions contributed to her downward spiral, especially at 16 years old. I am sorry for the loss of Tigger. May she rest in peace.

I am moving from Loa Angeles to northern Georgia with my two indoor-only cats, but the area will be forested and screens only provide so much protection from mosquitoes. I am concerned about feline heartworm. What is the best topical preventative a
Love his name! That is awesome! I would recommend Revolution or Advantage Multi. I personally like Advantage Multi better. Any product containing a heartworm prevention is a prescription item so you need to get your vet to either dispense the product or write you a script. I hope this helps. Best of luck with your move!

Is there anything over the counter that I can give to fereal cats for worms?
Hello and welcome to Boop by Petco. There are many over the counter products available in pet stores in the U.S. that are good dewormers. Milbemax, Revolution, Drontal, Strongid, Panacur, are some examples. I recommend calling your local vet to ask which products are most efficacious and available in your area, and you can get them from the store. For feral cats, the biggest problem is getting the medication into them, so you can talk with your vet about pills vs. liquids. If you are feeding them then a tablet in the food might work, but only if you are feeding them separately. Best of luck with the kitties!

Hello, I am using Frontline Plus on my cats. One of then has a flea allergy develop about 1yr ago. She has started going out more, sitting in the garden with her sister. She is scratching much more now. Are there better treatments for fleas that woul
I would personally use one of the oral pills like Comfortis or Bravecto. I like Bravecto because it's newer and the fleas haven't been exposed to it yet so there is no resistance. It is also nice because one dose lasts 12 weeks. All the other products only last 4 weeks. https://us.bravecto.com/for-cats.aspx The Adams spray does not work for long term use and you are just dousing her chemicals every time you use it. It is not bad for spot treatment here and there but I would not use it all the time. I would recommend you use this Flea/tick mousse maybe 1-2x a week. It is easy to apply and not as "chemically" as the Adams Spray. It is more natural. https://www.chewy.com/vets-best-waterless-flea-tick-cat/dp/148050 Also, I know you said you treated the house which is great but I'm not sure what product you used so I will recommend one. You also need to treat the yard. I like this house spray. I find it works the best: https://www.chewy.com/virbac-knockout-es-area-treatment/d

My dog and 2 cats have fleas. I have tried baths,sprays and collars and still I am finding bugs on them. What would be the best budget friendly product to try next?
Regarding OTC products, Frontline is still a good option. Do know there is a diference between what you can buy without a prescription. Generally know the products sold by your vet are the most effective. Top products for dogs are oral products such as Simparica and Nexgard. Top products for cats are topicals such as Revolution and Cheristan. There is also an oral product called Comfortis that both dogs and cats can take. You will need to switch all the pets over to a good flea product. Make sure to discuss these products with your veterinarian first. These products are generally safe for all pets but there are some conditions which are contraindicated for the oral products. Cleaning up and treating the house and yard will also help but it will not clear all the fleas. The main control is making sure the pets are on good products. This is what will ultimately stop the infestation. Also remember every female fleas lays about 50 eggs a day and it could take up to 6 months before the egg
