I think Revolution will get rid of the lice. Confirmation anyone?</P><P>Definitely keep your new kitty isolated until the lice is completely gone. Also, I don't remember if the lice is zoonotic, meaning that other animals and people other than cats can get it. You might want to check that out too.Mon, 02 Nov 2009 10:28:10 GMTvettechgirlhttp://board.catchannel.com/Topic55278-17-1.aspx<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT color=#000000 size=5 face="Lucida Sans">Hello!</FONT></P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com<img onload = "resizeThis(this)" onload = " /><o:p><FONT color=#000000 size=5 face="Lucida Sans"> </FONT></o:p></P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT color=#000000 size=5 face="Lucida Sans">Thank you for reading this!</FONT></P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p><FONT color=#000000 size=5 face="Lucida Sans"> </FONT></o:p></P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT color=#000000 size=5 face="Lucida Sans">I have two adult housecats and just rescued an orphaned kitten approximately 10 wks. old.</FONT></P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p><FONT color=#000000 size=5 face="Lucida Sans"> </FONT></o:p></P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT color=#000000 size=5 face="Lucida Sans">The kitten was infested with lice when I found him.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>My vet Frontlined him (although this treatment wouldn’t have been my choice), I have sanitized his environment, and I have bathed him twice.</FONT></P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p><FONT color=#000000 size=5 face="Lucida Sans"> </FONT></o:p></P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT color=#000000 size=5 face="Lucida Sans">The nits are still on his hair and my next treatment will be to comb them out.</FONT></P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p><FONT color=#000000 size=5 face="Lucida Sans"> </FONT></o:p></P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=5><FONT color=#000000><FONT face="Lucida Sans">The kitten is otherwise healthy and my family is excited about his joining the other cats, but I want to keep him in quarantine for a couple more weeks.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p><FONT color=#000000 size=5 face="Lucida Sans"> </FONT></o:p></P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=5><FONT color=#000000><FONT face="Lucida Sans">I have been doing some scientific research on lice but I’d just like to have some practical advice from some of you who have perhaps gone through this before.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p><FONT color=#000000 size=5 face="Lucida Sans"> </FONT></o:p></P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT color=#000000 size=5 face="Lucida Sans">Thanks again so much for taking the time to read this!</FONT></P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p><FONT color=#000000 size=5 face="Lucida Sans"> </FONT></o:p></P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT color=#000000 size=5 face="Lucida Sans">~EquineLady</FONT>Mon, 02 Nov 2009 07:04:13 GMTEquineLady
