The litter tray

Back of the neck flea drops

My two are due their second jabs on Saturday.

For various reasons, the back of the next drops for the smaller cat have only just arrived. Can I put the drops on this evening, or should I leave it till after the jabs?

Cat tax. The one on the bed is the younger cat.

Oh and if any of you are going to say that I should ring my vet, I spent 20 mins on hold to be cut off.

If they'd put this info on their website, I would just know.

Unless they are riddled and desperately need drops I'd wait until a few days after the jabs.

Take the flea treatment with you and ask while you're there

Vet nurse here. It's fine to give now . We give a free flea treatment like Broadline or Stronghold with 2nd jags as standard in our practice.

Thanks @FlamingGoat . I'll do them this evening. I thought it was okay (it's been a while since the two coincided in my house), but I did not fancy a foaming cat the day after their jabs.

Come back tomorrow for photos of what's left of my hands😁

We bribe them with dreamies whilst one of sneaks up behind to put the drops on 🤣

Why on earth do they make such a fuss of a couple of drops.

My poor boy thinks I'm trying to kill him and it's like wrestling a lion

My girl is ok as long as food is involved.

My hands are fine this morning.

My living room carpet, on the other hand, will be flea-free for the next 4 weeks.
