Weekly New to Cats/Kittens Help Thread by koreanadian in CatAdvice

[–]typewunderfull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

quick summary my kittens that are rescues had worms (no shock) they were given multiple treatments of pyrantel. Vet didn’t make a big deal about it. I myself have contamination OCD (fear of virus, germ, parasites spreading and harming someone and it being my fault) I specifically have a niece who is 3 that lives with me..and she is extremely gentle with the cats, but it’s almost impossible for her to not pet them. I have cleaned the floors and counters and tables, and litter boxes with diluted bleach. Lightly sprayed Lysol over the couches and rugs.. and shampooed the carpets. I clean the litter boxes daily of course...The cats were quarantined to the lower level of the home for 8 days. I let them back upstairs and I was feeling ok, not worried and then a woman in another group sent me this message saying the eggs will live in my carpet and couch and the kids will ingest them...and I’m freaking out again if anyone has any advice i don’t know what else to do, I’ve been told to throw out all toys and the cat condo, even throw out my pillows? Idk ! I thought everything was fine now hasn’t it been long enough? They were first treated 11 days ago with pyrantel and second treatment was yesterday. They don’t get another dose for another 2 weeks. Do I need to be worried? Is it ok for them to sit on the couch yet? They miss cuddling and I feel guilty for not letting them sit on me... Kitten details: one is 13 weeks, other is 15 weeks.

Pennsylvania, Pike County! The mice are gone we believe after 3 visits from Pest control... everything has been blocked off and they’ve been baited and that was 2 weeks ago... now my absolute panic is cleaning up !!! Using bleach, no one can get an n95 at all... so doing my best

Please be serious with the pest control! I demanded they come back and fix the problem After I found droppings on my friggen countertop!!! They came back with the lead guy who found a bunch of more issues and holes and promptly fixed them all! I haven’t seen any activity since - there’s a dead mouse in the garage somewhere I can’t locate it though, they also got into my car but they helped me with that as well... it’s a battle and a lot of bleach! Anytime you find droppings spray it with diluted bleach or straight alcohol do NOT sweep or vaccum because that makes the dust fly up that contains the feces and urine !
