I know nothing about it either! I do know that my vet has never suggested that I treat my cats with a preventative, but he does have the sign in his office that the treatment is available.

CPrince, I am so sorry to hear about your cat. Maybe as you learn more, you can share the information with the rest of us, so we can become more aware. I hope the kitty will be ok. Surely they can treat it, like they do with dogs, although I hate to think your cat will have endure these painful treatments. Good luck, and we will include your kitty in our prayers.
