Looking for broad-spectrum flea/parasite treatment food additive
I believe there are some feline flea, worm and parasite treatments that
can be added to food. I'm looking for an oral alternative to the topical skin treatment known as Revolution. I would like to treat a feral cat for fleas (at least) and as many other things as possible while I'm at it. I know that there are oral forms of these treatments, but I don't know their brand names or what spacifically they treat or prevent (I'm not looking for the identity of specific drugs that treat, say, tape worms like milbemax). I'm looking for oral, prophylactic treatments (or a combination of treatments) for fleas, mites, ticks, worms, parasites, etc. And while I'm on the topic, is it true that Revolution does not effectively treat ticks? If so, is there any prophylactic, topical or oral treatment that does? |

If you care about the cat, trap it or contact a trap, neuter, spay group that will trap it and take it to the vet. |

They would know the answer and perhaps even sell you what you need. |

Having done this with a feral cat, my advice is to trap the cat, and give him/her to a vet for the primary treatment.....That way the cat can be given shots and specific treatment for the common diseases that are prevalent in such animals. Have the cat neutered while you are at it, or it will contract FIV which is a real loser among wild animals. It will domesticate much more easily after neutering, too. |

Looking for broad-spectrum flea/parasite treatment food additive
Why can't I just get an answer to these simple questions:
1) what is eqivalent to Revolution, but in oral form? 2) is it true that Revolution is not effective against ticks? |

The only treatment that I know of is called "Program". It doesn't kill fleas but prevents their eggs from producing. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') |

If so, is there any prophylactic, topical or oral treatment that does? I am in the UK and use an on-line animal medication service. For some treatments, you will need a prescription; for many, you will not. Try this link: www.petmeds.co.uk Whilst visiting this site (in your interest), I saw a treatment called 'Capstar' which treats fleas orally. There may be other products. Certainly, there is a facility for asking questions. If you are in the US or elsewhere in the world, there may be a company nearer home that you'd rather use, so try googling and see what comes up. Otherwise, follow some of the helpful advice you were given and contact a vet or animal rescue shelter. Spider |
