Hey, you were right about the animals. We just took the cat, but she got a Predisone (sp?) shot and Advantage. Since she's indoor and we hadn't seen any fleas (she sleeps with us and the dog sleeps at the foot of our bed) we figured they weren't a problem.

She also had to have her rabies shot. Today's bill: $80.00.

$80 is a bargain.... I rarely get out of the vet for less than $100, no matter what the issue!

Glad you got the Predisone shot.... a lot easier than trying to give pills to a cat, and the shot will kill the itching right away, and she'll heal pronto!

And I have found you can save yourself a bit of money if you wish by stretching the Advantage doses out to six weeks or so... I get away with that, but if the kitty is sensitive or developing an allergy, you may never be able to be completely off of it. One flea bite will start a reaction again. Advantage is a great product though! Works like a charm!
