We were having a flea problem...I found out about shots that the vet can give them every 6 months, it kills the larvae in the adult fleas,meaning, no more baby fleas..
I bet you could get it at the pet store, also, and give them yourself.....
Two of my cats were losing their hair, now their hair is all grown back and they gained weight.
Oh Muman! I'm so sorry to hear about your cat. Of course I'll pray for her speedy recovery.
By the way, how did she become anemic? Are you sure a blood transfusion is her only hope? Have you gotten a second opinion? Perhaps she can have iron injections or supplements instead?
We believe she became anemic from the fleas. Unfortunately we last gave her flea treatment, Advantage, about 2 months ago and it seems the the fleas are bad in the living room here. I definitely suggest treating the cats more than once every two or three months.
I appreciate the support and hope I can pick her up tomorrow morning.
