Frontline is fine for pregnant & lactating cats - not sure about other meds though.

I believe I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable to the race would not remove my hostility to it.  Mark Twain

You didnt need to buy 6 from the vets - they sell them individually too.  Didnt you say that one of the cats is pregnant?  If so you may need to check what tratments are safe?

I couldn't believe the cost of frontline at my vets!! £35 for 6, the girls need treating ASAP, so I paid, but going to vet uk next time £16 for 6

I was googling to see if I can get any information on transdermal benazepril (fortekor) and saw that Novartis sell a Generic version. 10 x 10mg pack for £4.30 - eqivilent to 40 Fortekor. So about 1/4 the price.

btw - I found a paper that was done at Kent University ansd it seems the drug is one they suggested as suitable for transdermal application. Still nothing approved. All a bit complicated ofr my little brain which I am racking t find a way to get meds into Willow.
