Pet Forum / Miscellaneous / Animal Health / October 2007A question on cat meds
My elderly parents have two cats female and male spayed/neutered with shots.Mom took in a stray temporarily and we suspect hook worm infection now.A lady next door was talking about a new multi med like advantage that is applied on the back of there neck like the flea control.She's states that it will take care of hook,tape.fleas etc.I don't mind a trip to the vet but im real curious if such a product exist..solely for the reason Miss Blackie is a special needs cat(anxiety)and it would be great for a short visit if held true. Emails welcome and replies here...thanks in advance!. > My elderly parents have two cats female and male spayed/neutered with > shots.Mom took in a stray temporarily and we suspect hook worm infection [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > for a short visit if held true.

It's called Profender. You can use Profender yes to treat worms great stuff=) My cats hate tablets but I can treat with this. I also use Advocate treatment. >My elderly parents have two cats female and male spayed/neutered with >shots.Mom took in a stray temporarily and we suspect hook worm infection [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >for a short visit if held true. Emails welcome and replies >here...thanks in advance!. She is probably referring to Revolution. I've been using it for several years with great success. It's a little more expensive than Advantage but heartworms are a concern in this part of the country. Here are the claims made by the manufacturer: Kills adult fleas, flea eggs and flea larvae in the environment Treats, controls and prevents flea infestations Prevents heartworm disease Controls flea allergy dermatitis Treats and controls ear mites Treats and controls sarcoptic mange in dogs Controls roundworms and hookworms in cats Easy monthly application Waterproof after 2 hours Contains Selemectin > Controls roundworms and hookworms in cats .......I don't think any of these heartworm Plus products totally eliminates worms. I no longer remember what the percentage is, but one could check the CVM site of FDA and look at the studies. buglady take out the dog before replying > She is probably referring to Revolution. I've been using it for > several years with great success. It's a little more expensive than > Advantage but heartworms are a concern in this part of the country. But Revolution does not take care of tapeworms. Profender takes care of larval and adult stages of round, hook and tapeworms. http://www.advocate-spot-on.com/Profender-R.1462.0.html > But Revolution does not take care of tapeworms. Profender takes care of > larval and adult stages of round, hook and tapeworms. > > http://www.advocate-spot-on.com/Profender-R.1462.0.html Piggy backing on my own post.... ee gads. There is also Advantage Multi which takes care of heartworm, Fleas, hooks and rounds. Also treatment and control of ear mites. http://www.advantage-multi.com/AdvantageMultiCats.cfm As for Revolution, we've had poor results including one of our vets who applied it religiously after negHW tests and dog still got hearworm. We're phasing it out. Most of our clients go with Advantage or Frontline products (1 and 2 respectively) and pills or iquid for worms. Profender is very new to the US but it's been handy for our clients who want to treat rascally cats, barn cats and ferrels they're working with. |
