first off, this kitten was needing a new/good home, so my husband and I went and picked him up today. when we got in the car to head home I noticed the kitten had fleas! Luckily I had 3 in 1 flea and tick shampoo for kittens/cats! I rushed him into the tub and bathed him really really well, since I have a little girl and 2 small indoor dogs. I put a flea and tick colar on him. After he had completely dried I checked him everywhere for fleas and didn't see any! Thank God!!
But I was wondering along with getting him the booster shots that he needs what other things should I be concerned about? for example toxoplasmosis- i read this can be dangerous for women who are preg. that they shouldn't change the litter box- I'm pregnant! Should I get my cat checked for it? What about ringworm and other diseases cats can carry? I know I should have thought about all this before I got the cat, but didn't think he was so neglected! We are giving him a much better home! Any ideas on what I need to ask the vet about? and why I should
Thanks!!
