Section: Follow-up
Optimal treatment for your cat requires a combination of home and professional veterinary care. Follow-up is important especially for flea allergic cats. Administer as directed any medications prescribed by your veterinarian.
Mark dates on your calendar that treatments and follow-up evaluations are due. Follow the preventative measures recommended by your veterinarian as appropriate for the season of the year and your geographic location.
Contact your veterinarian if you are having difficulty administering prescribed medications or if the results are not as expected.
