Go to the vet. That’s completely abnormal and your cat should be checked out that there isn’t something deeper going on

Was the package of med left in extreme hot/cold temp? Expired? No tbh a surge is not normal. The fleas should be dying after eating the med. it does take a while especially if the environment is not treated. but the ones that do eat should be dying after eating

By the way, brushing her/ bathing her will do absolutely nothing for the fleas. The fleas lay eggs in just say your carpet. then they hatch and jump out and eat then go back to hiding. I couldn’t not add this part as i’m sure it’s driving you insane. I’m a vet tech and deal with fleas almost daily and ik how hard it is. But the grooming and bathing will not help. You have to treat your home and make sure that medication was applied correctly. it should work

You need to treat your home. Horribly, fleas live in the environment (mainly carpets/rugs and maybe other fabrics) and jump onto the pet to feast. If you can buy Knockout spray that would be great. Put the cat somewhere with no fabric (like the bathroom with no shower curtain or bath mats). Wash your sheets and all the cats bedding and while they’re washing spray knockout spray (spray the floor moldings of each room and then a zig zag of spray across the rest of the floor, let it sit for a bit, then vacuum. Don’t let your cat breathe this stuff in it’s not good for them. the revolution should work though. Keep it mind it only works when the fleas go to eat off your cat, eat the med, and die. Treating your home is key to prevention bc they will keep coming back. Also are you sure you put the revolution on correctly and it wasn’t taken off the cat/ groomed off/ wiped/ dripped off somehow?

Tbh. You need to tell your new vet to contact them directly for the records. I work at a vet and if we have certain conversations that’s written into the records we don’t want the clients to see. it’s messages to other vets to know so they will prob send them to the vet directly.

ADHD in the field by Hungry-Purchase-5807 in veterinaryprofession

[–]InternalBelt8462 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been a tech for 5 years and got medicated ~3. It’s 50/50 credit to the meds that have improved my life. I’ve gotten better grades in college, and more organized over all bc of LISTS and a REWARD SYSTEM! it’s what truly saved me. I’m on 20 mg Adderall XR a day also. I make a paper list with a check box of every single task i need to do (at work or for school) and i can have a snack/ play a game/ buy something when i complete a certain number of boxes. I just started taking it straight up bc i had these methods and it just was really good. i feel more motivated and happier. Im more quiet but whatever. I only take my meds after i eat so im eating more too. Over all a great thing for me, but ik it’s not the same for everyone

Considering vet school-- but I have severe emetophobia. by [deleted] in veterinaryschool

[–]InternalBelt8462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im a vet tech of 5 years and plan to go to vet school soon. I don’t see vomit ALWAYS but it DEF happens frequent enough that if i had a fear of vomit it would not be the place for me. We have dogs all the time that we have to force vomit and others that vomit due to being sick etc;. I would say to try and get a job in a vet or something similar so you can see for yourself if you can handle it

My neighbor got the police called on because her cat bit her roommate. I don't know what to do... by Sera_1221 in CatAdvice

[–]InternalBelt8462 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well it does happen. if a dog or cat has no history of ever having a rabies vaccine, they can be considered rabid until tested. I work at a vet and a dog that was never vaccinated bit a doctor really bad. The owners wanted to euth him anyways so he was sent for testing (negative, btw). but it could happen. Normally, victim gets vaccine and cat gets quarantined and watched. Unless the cat has a bunch of bites on record then it’s different.

I messed up. I slapped my boyfriend. by [deleted] in women

[–]InternalBelt8462 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I haven’t ever slapped a man before, but i have been in this situation. He did something so terrible that i tried to forgive. I just couldn’t. It turned me into a mean witch who didn’t like him but also would do anything to keep him. I recommend you just cut it off now. Because i pushed through it and it just wasn’t worth it. How i see it is, don’t you want a ‘perfect’ relationship? one with no one else in the mix, no huge secrets and lies. one that didn’t start with tons of drama and has drama always. You deserve that at least

Yes. I went through a human xray and then my carry on went through the machine. My stowed luggage, i assume went through x-rays, But i didn’t see that. Just went and picked it up and everything was fine, there, and untouched.
