eramites help

I'm new to do group. Maybe for many of you my question is gonna be very
esay to solve but for me it's very difficult. I addopted a cat a week
from now he was a intact cat so I took him to the one of those
neutering discount programs; there he contract ear mites as well as
fleas. Now I need to get rid of those things is there something that
can be effective for ear mite treatment thaht won't be expensive. If I
don't purchase a discount progran with banfield @ pestmart is gonna
cost me around $150, and if there's no cheaper way to do i have to do
it their way I guess. I think tho they were taking advantage of my
concerns. It seems like they were inventing test to run so I must buy
their discount program.

Can naybody give me a hand here.

I read about previous postings about revolutin and frontline but i
found out that those are not over the counter medecine they have to be
prescribed.

I think the facility where he got the mites should pay, or give you a
voucher to get the right mite medicine.

how do you say your name, or...what does that really say?

it's just the title of a song. And I went to them first but feel like
they're not responsible for it.

However besides that advice ...is there something else that some can
advice please?

Good lord why not? At any rate, you should contact a vet. I believe it
should not be that much to treat both. Call around and get prices. Who did
the neuter job??

Don't waste your money on over-the-counter products. Revolution will solve
both the flea and earmite problems and more. If the cat has fleas, he is
likely to also have tapeworms. Fleas are an intermediary host for
tapeworms. So, then you have to treat the tapeworms after you spent money on
over-the-counter flea treatments and earmites treatments.
Revolution is not cheap, but in the long run, it could be less expensive
than trying to find the right products over the counter. It's safer, too,
than some products.
One of the best things you can do for your cat is to find a vet and develop
a good relationship. You do this by getting regular checkups and care that
the cat needs.
You demonstrate that you are a responsible pet owner. When you have an
ongoing relationship with a vet who knows your cat, you should be able to
get refills of Revolution or whatever you are using without having to pay
for an office visit, just the product.
When you think your cat has a problem, you have somebody you can call to ask
if it needs to be treated right away or if you can wait. I've never had a
vet bill for asking for advice like that.
When one of our cats got very sick, we didn't have to call all over town to
find someone who would see her. Our vet at the time even asked if we wanted
to make payments instead of paying the whole bill at once.
If you think it will cost too much to take your cat to the vet for something
that actually works on fleas and earmites, call around and see what it
really costs. Maybe it will be less than you think. And your cat won't have
to suffer as the costs add up while you try to find an over-the-counter
product that will work and will not harm your cat.

Thanx all for the posting. I finally was able to get Revolution for my
kitty. I got him dewormed already.
Well I used to have a good relationship with my vet I have 3 more cats
and a dog and my ex-vet knew how much I care for my pets but all the
time whenever she could,she would blame my raw feeding for any problem
that I could go to her for. So i got fed up and left so i just met this
vet people around my neighborhood and that's were I went to for help.
however I am still searching for the right vet; One who could be
understading with my raw feeding believes and also one who won't ripped
me off.

Can I get some advice on distressing a cat?

I was at a seminar a few months ago, and one of the speakers talked about
nutrition in pets. She made a comment about how vets are generally only
taught 'the alphabet' in vet school - this is a reference to Hill's
Prescription Diet formulas like a/d, c/d, s/d, i/d and the like. An
excellent resource for you would be Dr. Pitcairn's Guide to Complete Health
for Dogs and Cats (or something very similar, but I KNOW the author's name
is right). This particular vet now runs a practice that's booming, and it's
based (after fifteen years of research and study) on a raw diet. It all
depends on what's in the raw diet (lots of fish, raw or otherwise, is
terrible for urinary tract health, for example), but Pitcairn's Guide has
some excellent recipes. For your cats AND your dog.

Thankfully you seem to have a good idea of when you ARE being ripped off.
