My
cat is constantly scratching, could she have fleas?
Yes, your cat could have
fleas, however it would be best to make an appointment
with your vet/vet nurse to check
her over in case it is another skin complaint. If she
has got fleas, then your vet will be able to adivise
you on what tratment would be most suitable for your
cat. It is also recommended that you treat your house
as well. Some animals are highly allergic to flea saliva
and can cause themselves horrific injury with constant
scratching/biting so it is important to use year round
flea prevention in these cases. You should also worm
your cat if it has fleas as tapeworms are associated
with fleas.
How soon can I get my male kitten neutered?
most male and female cats can be neutered at 6 months
of age. Taking your cat to the vet for a checkup first
is highly recommended to ensure he is in good shape for
an anaesthetic and also that both his testicles have
decended.
