I use Revolution for fleas, which also is wonderful for ear mites. I have never dealt with skin mites, so I don’t know if Revolution would treat those as well, so check that out. Revolution is really great to apply as well, because you just apply the contents of the tiny container onto the back of the cat’s neck – very simple and very effective.

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

Hi Jennifer,

            Thank you for taking him :)

            What are you using to treat him for mites and worms? It shouldn't be difficult to keep them under control after initial treatment, so is something else going on?

            Where are you? No need to be specific, just general area, and maybe someone can offer more "local" advice. V take FeLV+ cats.

On Dec 22nd, 2016 an ADORABLE young male kitty arrived crying @ our home. We already have 3 cats & a dog, so we tried to find him a home. After a month, and having allowed him inside (kept seperate from our zoo) due to lethally cold weather, we decided he was here to stay. I was DEVASTATED when he tested positive for FeLV. My problem isn't whether to give him a chance at as long of a happy life he may have ahead of him, but HOW !  We can't keep him alone in the basement bedroom forever, there isn't even a decent sized window for him & my heart breaks that the only time I can give him is to sleep by him at night. The few times I check in on him during the day are so brief! He has SUCH character, and is SO handsome. I don't know how he ended up at our home, unless he was dumped or left a nearby farm.
WHERE are the rescue agencies for FeLV+ cats ? ? ? Currently I'm treating him for skin mites (has ear mites TOO) so he MIGHT be deemed "adoptable" at a shelter that does try adopting out FeLV+ cats. The precautions necessary to keep the mites, FeLV, oh yes- AND worms (had to treat EVERYONE) from spreading is also wearing me out.
CAN  ANYONE  HELP  US ?

My Annie is now 9 years old and was diagnosed as positive when I got her at age 4.  She recently started sneezing and had runny eyes so off to the vet we went.  She gave her a shot of antibiotic and some more to take at home.  She seems to be improving, no more sniffles or runny eyes.  So far the discharges have been clear but I did not want to wait a few days to be sure.  He other problem is a lame left front leg.  It is not broken and the vet thinks she probably sprained it when jumping dow from high places, which she does a lot trying to avoid Harley who is a real pest these winter days.  If he cannot get outside, he is a terrorist on 4 legs, knocks things down, over, stares at me.
