Hi, Is your cat ok now? Did the lethargy last long? If you have any concerns please contact your veterinarian immediately for treatment.

Hi, Although we do not sell Frontline Shield I can see on the Frontline website it says the following; FRONTLINE Shield for Dogs is typically considered acceptable for use in breeding, pregnant, and lactating dogs when used according to the manufacturer’s instructions. However, it’s always a good idea to consult with your veterinarian before using any flea or tick control product on a pregnant or lactating dog, as individual circumstances may vary. Your veterinarian can provide specific guidance based on your dog’s health and needs to ensure the proper use and effectiveness of the product during these life stages. I hope this helps :) Bec

Hi Joshua, So sorry to hear that your doggo is suffering with heart issues. It sounds like you and your vet are managing it well and doing your best to make sure he can still live a full and happy life. Best of luck :)

Hi, Thank you for the question. FLUTD can cause urinary incontinence especially in that they are often straining or just urinating very small amounts, sometimes not in their litter box. It doesn't tend to cause faecal incontinence or diarrhoea directly. Sometimes cats will strain to urinate and then poop by default. And stress of any kind could cause diarrhoea, so FLUTD and urinary issues can cause a great deal of stress and discomfort for the cat. If your cat is having incontinence issues or diarrhoea please consult your veterinarian as soon as possible for a diagnosis.

Hi, If you visit our website here www.vetnpetdirect.com.au/products/vetafarm-synbiotic-180-s you will be able to see the instructions.

Hi, Thank you for the question. This needs to be given every month as per the instructions. The preventative medications that stop your dog from catching fleas, ticks or heartworm will only last for one month. If given every second month they will not be covered in between doses. I hope this helps. :) Bec

Hi, Yes Bladder Cancer can be a cause of leaking urine in cats but thankfully it is not a very common condition. Sorry we were unable to cover it during this video. :)

We are glad it helped settle the stress :)

Hi, Please contact your veterinarian, it may or may not be due to the Revolution Plus so your cat can be examined and treated. Good Luck :)

Hi, You really need to contact your veternarian. Without seeing the dog, assessing other symptoms or seeing the frog it is not possible to know if the dog has been poisoned. I hope your dog is ok and made a speedy recovery.

Hi, The main thing to take into consideration if they are comfortable. If they are curling around and close to the cats pads then absolutely they need to be trimmed. If they are getting caught on furniture, carpet or bedding they need to be trimmed. Overly long nails might affect your cats' ability to walk comfortably, especially if they have arthritis or other mobility issues common in senior cats. It's generally recommended to check their nails every few weeks and trim them if they're getting long. Just be cautious not to trim too close to the quick (the blood vessel inside the nail), as this can be painful and may cause bleeding. Overall, keeping their nails trimmed is a good way to ensure their comfort and well-being in their senior years. I hope this helps. :) Bec

@@vetnpetDIRECT really appreciate the reply, helped a lot! Thank you =)

Hi, Sorry to hear about your dog. Yes Ehrlichiosis can be deadly to your dog unless treated correctly and early. Please follow your veterinarians advice which will be based on the stage of the disease. Have a listen to this podcast for more information from our veterinarian Dr Glenn or read this article in our Help Centre Canine Ehrlichiosis >> help.vetnpetdirect.com.au/kb/canine-ehrlichiosis/ I hope this information helps and best of luck with your dogs treatment. :) Bec

Happy to hear your dog survived!

Hi, That's a great age for showing no symptoms, some cats are lucky and get through life without any arthritis issues. It's great that you are aware of what to look for so if the time comes you can intervene in the early stages. :) Bec

I am so glad we could help answer your questions and ease your concerns :)

It really is never easy but hopefully this may have helped in some small way.

Hi, You should just keep them separated until the product dries so that they don't groom it off her.

@@vetnpetDIRECT thanks 👊🏻

Hi, Good question! The main reason that dog flea treatments are not to be used on cats is that many flea treatments for dogs contain ingredients that are safe for dogs but toxic to cats. For example, some dog flea treatments contain permethrin, which is safe for dogs but highly toxic to cats. Cats lack a specific enzyme in their liver that is necessary to metabolise certain chemicals, including permethrin, leading to toxicity when applied to them. Also, dogs and cats differ in size and metabolism, which means they require different dosages of flea treatment chemicals, using the incorrect product can lead to an overdose. I hope this helps explains that for you. :) Bec

@@vetnpetDIRECT so between dogs being larger (in general) and having more capable immune systems, essentially, they can take on more chemicals that are toxic to cats and cats immune systems are more fragile, so anything that is used on a cat would more likely be safe for a dog as well? (Maybe “immune system” isn’t quite the correct term, but close enough to the idea for me to understand) thank you!!

Hi there, Sounds like a very tricky and determined cat your have. If they are still able to get to the spot-on when placed between the shoulder blades or high on the neck, you could try using an elizabethan collar around the neck just while the medication dries for a few hours. You could also try other options like a flea collar in combination with worming tablets. I hope this helps.

HI, Solensia is not specifically mentioned or recommended in this video. It is a a prescription medication that your would need to consult your veterinarian for use.

Hi, If you are concerned or the symptoms are more than described by Dr Glenn please contact your veterinarian immediately or an animal emergency centre incase they are having a severe reaction. Hopefully your cat's symptoms settled and is doing ok. Regards, Bec

Hi, Bravecto chewable tablets are safe for use in pregnant or lactating bitches making it a suitable choice for flea and tick protection. You can find the video on Bravecto Chews here >> czcams.com/video/MeLEGL24XLM/video.html I hope this helps. :) Bec

@@vetnpetDIRECT Thank u so much ❤️

Hi, Thank you for your question. There would likely only be a small amount of transfer from the neck to the foot and then they may even walk it off before licking it. If your cat does happen to scratch the area and it is still wet and then they immediately lick their foot you may see some of those mild symptoms listed by Dr Glenn in the video, but they should subside relatively quickly. The spot-on will dry within a few hours and shouldn't be a problem. I hope this helps :) Bec

HI, No this is not a paid promotion or a partnership of any kind, it is just honest advice from a qualified and experienced veterinarian. We hope it helps :) Bec

Hi, Check with your veterinarian on what she was wormed with and the advice on if it had been long enough between application and a bath. Some products are water fast and some it is ok to bath once it dries or after 24-48 hours. But as it depends on what was used I would check with your vet. :) Bec

Thank you very much for the reply Bec!!!

Hi, You need to purchase the correct weight range pack for your dog. Simparica Trio has weight ranges of Large Dogs 20.1-40kg or Extra Large Dogs 40.1kg to 60kg, and they then receive one tablet monthly. Being that you are saying your dog is approximently 40kg I would get an exact weight on them to ensure you are getting a dose that will adequately cover your dog. You do not want to under-dose them as the efficacy of the tablet may be reduced and potentially put them at risk. You can shop the full range of Simparica Trio here online >> www.vetnpetdirect.com.au/collections/simparica-trio-monthly-chews-for-dogs I hope this helps.

Always welcome

Is your cat ok now?

@@madisonhansen4905 My cat has passed away. We took her to the vet several times, but unfortunately, she didn't improve

@@ChillWire777 I'm so sorry for your loss 😢

Hi, Please follow the instructions on the packet of the product you are using. Most are to be applied monthly and yes this is very important to follow that schedule, if you don't your cat may be unprotected.

Yes, for some cats they can take care of their own nails with their natural activities and scratching. Make sure they have something to scratch on like a scratching post and this will help. However many cats, especially as they get older or become less active they do need help to maintain their claw length. We hope this video helped answer some of your questions. :)

I'm glad it helped ease your mind. :)

This exact thing happened to me rn I washed her and everything and my kittens also 7 months 😭

Hi, Revolution Plus is applied monthly for the treatment and control of paralysis ticks, roundworm, hookworm, ear mites and biting lice, and the prevention of heartworm disease in cats. I hope this helps. :) Bec

Hi, We sell them in our online store here >> www.vetnpetdirect.com.au/products/ants-off-pet-bowl-table :)

@@vetnpetDIRECTthanks for the link! ❤

You could also look at a product called Feliway which is often very helpful at reducing anxiety when moving. You can find it here in our online store >> www.vetnpetdirect.com.au/collections/feliway Good luck with the move.

Most welcome 😊

It is never easy having to make a decision like that :(

HI, If they are right on 5kg I would go the 5-10kg, just in case they put on any weight. They do have a very wide safety margin so they should be fine. I hope this helps :) Bec

@@vetnpetDIRECT thank you very much for your help
