Hello all,

I have indoor cats and they had fleas a little while back-I understand that even though they are indoors they can still get them. Ever since Bandit had a severe reaction to the fleas (it only took 1!) we have been using Advocate flea treatment that says it treats:

* heartworm prevention
* flea and lice treatment and prevention of flea infestations. The product can be also used as part of a treatment strategy for FAD (Flea Allergy Dermatitis)
* gastrointestinal worm control including several larval stages
* treatment of lungworms in dogs (Angiostrongylus vasorum)
* control of ear mites in cats and dogs
* control of sarcoptic mange in dogs
* control of Demodex mites in dogs

The fleas have seemingly gone-even though I still hoover regularly, groom them and wash the cats beds. So that's all good, we don't get this from our vets as it is too expensive, so we source from online instead.

Now...I have noticed our younger cat, Bandit, has been scooching across the floor on his bottom like a dog would normally do-is this worms? I was assured that Advocate would take care of such things, but obviously something is wrong, he's been doing it for around 2 weeks on and off now-our last lot of Advocate was a few days before he started doing the 'bum-wiggle.'

Does he just have an itchy bum, or could this be worms? I have had a look *cringes* and there is nothing wrong with his bottom that I can see.

Thanks in advance everyone!



*Note: not sure if this should be in chat or the health area-so I'll post in both and then any mods can delete whichever isn't in the right place x
