I believe my 8 year old male cat has miliary dermatitis. He is an indoor cat and we also have an 8 year old female dog. Can you recommend a home remedy for the dermatitis. And a recommendation for flea prevention for cats. Thank you very much.
Hello, thank you for using Boop by Petco! Here is a link explaining more about miliary dermatitis. I cannot tell if that is exactly the problem based on that one photo. ( https://www.petcoach.co/cat/condition/feline-miliary-dermatitis/ ) For a cat, I would use this leave on mousse product as treatment. I would apply it once a day in the beginning and once the clinical signs start to dissipate you can then go to every 2 or 3 days. Continue use until all the bumps on the skin are gone. ( https://www.allivet.com/p-6673-douxo-chlorhexidine-climbazole-mousse-for-dogs-and-cats-68-oz.aspx?SearchTerm=duoxo%20mousse+Auto ) A good over the counter flea prevention for cats is Cheristin. I would apply the Cheristin and then wait 24 hours before bathing or using any topical products. If the miliary dermatitis is from fleas, you need to apply this EVERY month. If you are having a flea problem then you definitely should treat the environment for fleas as well, otherwise you have a major infes

Hello, My cat had mites pretty badly and had a skin reaction the sulfur lime dips so our vet ended up giving her ivermectin shots. She’s had 4, each spaced a week or so apart. Since her last one she has been especially itchy, licking herself so much
Hello, thank you for using Boop by Petco. I do not know what brands of products you are using but it seems like she is having a toxicity reaction possibly from licking products off her body but could also be from the ivermectin injections. The dilated pupils are very concerning and one the first signs of a toxicity as well as hyper salivation. Full body mites at her age is not a normal thing we see here in the US so I am not sure the diagnosis is correct. I suggest you take her back to your vet or get a second opinion from another vet. I cannot really give you much direction as to where to go from here without knowing if she is having a toxicity reaction or not and why. There is not a blanket treatment for "mites" - it depends what type of mites they are (scabies vs demodex). Lime sulphur dips are not really used for this problem; it is really only used anymore in cases of full body ringworm.

Hi I have tried a bob Martin spot in for my 6 month old kitten and it hasn’t really worked and I was wondering if there were any good spot on products in the UK I could use to get rid of these fleas?
There are several topical preparations that may work for you and Milo. These include Frontline, Effipro, Advocate or Advantage. Find them in pet stores or from your veterinarian. Ideally, you should treat Milo for at least three consecutive months, preferably year round. You will also need to treat the environment. Vacuum everywhere he has been and empty the canister or dispose of the bag outside immediately after. Wash all bedding in the hottest water allowable by fabric. Use a cat safe area treatment to prevent reinfestation.

My cat has miliary dermatitis on her neck and head Ive been applying (alcool iode) its like Petadine the vet prescribed it last time she had this case But im not giving her any antibiotic ( which the vet also prescribed one last time) I notice one of
Khafraa is very cute! Miliary dermatitis indicates inflammation in the skin. It is most commonly an allergic reaction to something like fleas, food or environmental contaminants such as pollen or dust. I would not recommend starting antibiotics without having her examined by a veterinarian. Oftentimes antibiotics are not needed. The best way to resolve her signs is to figure out what the underlying causes. I would make sure you're using a high-quality flea preventative. An examination with your veterinarian will be helpful to determine if an infection is present and what the best course of action is for determining the underlying problem. They may recommend a food trial or allergy testing to get a better idea of what's going on.

my cat is a year old and he has tape worms . hes throwing up his food and losing fur . how can i help him ? i can only buy him medicine from stores like petco and petsmart . do u know what i should buy or get for him ? pls help
In order to feworm him and also hit tape worm you will need a wormer for cats with the ingredient of "Praziquantel". Tape worm are transmitted by fleas, so you will also need to do flea control. Unfortunately fleas only hop on the body of your pet when they want to feed, then they hop off again and stay in your pet's environment. So you need to treat all pets in the household as well as the environment (which contains the fleas, their eggs and larvae). Flea treatment: 1) Get some flea medication such as a Flea spray or a spot on from a pet shop or your veterinarian and apply monthly 2) get flea powder, put some in your vacuum cleaner bag and vacuum your house and furniture and also non-carpeted areas frequently to remove flea larvae and eggs which live off house dust., Dispose of the bag in the trash outside. Hot-wash all the pet's bedding, If you do this diligently for a few months you will get rid of the fleas. Flea products: Spot-ons and/or chews Advantage, Advantage Multi Frontli
