errkk you vet did not recommended FRONTLINE (spray/spot on)?  weird, from what i know almost all vet will recon this product when it comes to fleas and other parasites.

fleas is like the movie by leonardo di caprio - catch me if you can. fleas are hard to catch, and even escape from the cat body your you and your house. but it the end, they will die too.

there is only 1 cat flea.

i think what you trying to ask is "how many type of parasites on cat?".

Fleas, mites, lice, ticks, ringworm, etc.

You are consider lucky to get that price RM67 = 250ml.. i think the cheapest i heard RM65. i get mine RM70 dude.. so that is consider standard. Fuel, toll, and parking will cost more if i buy from pet safari. so i better just buy at the nearby petshop, different only RM3.

maybe because not much demand on this product. not everybody have pets. so they have to sell it high, to gain $$. beside frontline is the best among the rest. you can get cheaper fleas spray, giant/tesco/carrefour has the cheap cheap one

Frontline Spray = to remove it now
Frontline spot on = for prevention.

buy both, if you have cash.

can't remember the spot on price, maybe around rm45-rm60 for 3 tubes.

when your cat recover from fleas, make sure he will be completely indoor. if you want him to be in and out door, you cannot skip fleas from coming. just use frontline spot before he go outside. hopefully that will help.

Yea.. sometimes when your cat is admitted in the vet, they can also get fleas from other cat/dog.

Frontline spray if you want to kill the fleas hardcore way and immediately. the spray type is like mosquito spray., u spray, they die within few second.

Frontline spot on, is more like for prevention. it won't kill immediately. because u spot it on 1 place, and it took hours to start working properly. while, fleas may be already run away.

So, it is better to use SPRAY first, start world war III immediately, don't bomb alil bit with spot on, it will just be waste of money.

You can use spray type for prevention, but then, you cat will look like messy lah. oh well, you spray it on cat, your cat look like jatuh dalam longkang. that liquid will make your cat fur because like using hair wax/gel. so imagine if you preventing fleas using spray, and spray them every month. 12 months your cat look like going to make concert eheheh with hard on fur.

With spot on, you cannot see anything. because only spot at 1 small place on the neck. 1 tube will secure your cat for 1 month. after that, if needed, apply it again.

Don't finish up the whole bottle.. remember, when you dealing with fleas, it is not that easy. many people have to repeat over and over again.

So now, u already spray one time. keep the balance. then go buy spot one 1 pack (3 tubes inside).. put it on your cat after bath. and monitor after 1 months. if u see fleas again, start  spray, then spot on again.

--

U can bath your cat today or after 24-4 hours. with fleas shampoo better. again don't forget to clean the ears, and apply eat mites drops.. fleas are smart, they hide in ears too. dry your cat, and comb.

then apply spot on.

go to sleep and count the days till 30 ehehehehe... and check again 

did you ask the vet what kind of fungal infection?

as far as i concern, if the case involve skin, it should be ringworm.

the fur drop not because of the food...

by nature, ringworm fungal will drop down the fur.. and you started to see spot patches on the body, under the stomach, tail, private part.

Dermatophytosis (ringworm) is caused by fungal spores in the environment and typically develops on the skin as lesions. It is highly contagious and affects both dogs and cats. Common symptoms include red, raised, crusty skin and circular patches of dry skin with hair loss.

Proper care will make the cat recover faster. Like, keep giving the medicine (don't skip). and frequent bath with anti fungal shampoo (if im not mistaken 2/3 times a week). Some use cone collar to avoid cat licking the body (since ringworm will make the body itchy, cat will keep licking it until the fur drop and dry). And don't skip the vet appointment. If the vet ask you to come back after 2 weeks, then visit them. using tablet and shampoo is the first method. there are some other ways, but you need to complete it step by step, see witch one is suitable for the ringworm condition now. discuss more with your vet, sure they will help.

anyway, just google around cat ringworm. you will get alot of answers.

take care!

last time my case, the vet let me look the skin under the microscope, and i can see moving things.

also checking for ringworm, vet will ultra blue (this thing look similar to check fake money)... vet will pun the blue bright light on the skin. if there is florescent blue, means ringworm is there.

that's how i get to know about ringworm although i'm not a vet LOL.

it took times to grow back the fur and recover the skin.

and you need to make sure your cat has ringworm only, or parasites allergy. some cats has this thing call parasites allergy, which means they are allergy to this small creatures like mites, fleas, lice, etc.  some allergy to food type. both of this, need to check via blood samples if your cat has any.

i'm pretty sure your cat will recover soon... bath frequently with the determines shampoo vet provided. if head cone is needed, put it all time. this is to prevent the cat from licking the fur. the more it lick, the longest period the fur to recover.

tail, private part, and back of the 2 legs is the most favorite part for ringworm or any fungal...

you better bring to vet, for check up again.

if you have other cats, bring them too... because some cat will not show any fur drops although they bring the same symptom. if you only bring 1 cat, but not the other cat, the infection will never stop. it will keep continue.

how many times you clean your house, vacuum and mop the floor? you need to do this all the time.

btw, last time, my vet always have next appointment. didn't your vet tell you about the next visit for further check up?

i wonder where is your location anyway?

weird vet, cannot tell what is the problem. you try the cream... if it is not working then you can go to other vet. sorry that you sound like pay so much money for different vet, and your cat is not cure yet. let me know your location, maybe people here can recommend you their vet. if you are in Cheras KL, go to Segar Vet. That's my cat's vet. and segar vet show me how to check ringworm under the blue laser light, show me how mites look like under microscope.

is your cat getting worst or better?
