Taken this from another board -
Never heard of the stuff but sounds worrying.
Could it be the Advocat or just a coincidence ?
Hi everyone.. I've got a 15 week old kitten. He's been to have his vaccinations and everything was fine. Last time he was given some Advocat anto-flea/worm/tick stuff.. and we put it on him on Sunday evening as per the instruction leaflet. He was fine all day on Sunday and Monday. However, on Tuesday morning he had scratched and licked a big patch between his shoulders totally bald and it was sore and weeping. Needless to say I made an appointment for him to go to the vets and took him yesterday.
The vet gave him a steroid injection and some antibiotics. He was ok last night, a bit quieter than usual, but to be expected. He was fine this morning, the sore area looked a lot better than it was and he was quite perky. However, during the day he has really gone downhill and amazingly fast. He had been sick, but apart from that he really looked miserable and totally disinterested in everything. He hadn't eaten any of his food either. So, it was back to the vets. Normally he doesn't like the car, but this time he really didn't care. The vet was really worried about him and told me to take him straight to the veterinary hospital where he's been admitted to be put on a drip.
