[Felvtalk] age

[Jennifer Olson]

MN.  Right now I'm about to switch from oral ivermectin to Feline Advantage

His fur appears to be growing back, and he must be scratching less because
nearly all of the scabs/ bumps are gone- BUT it would be nice to destroy
the mites FASTER, & without the nasty tasting oral.
Your thoughts?
